A German artist has spent two years perfecting a technique of creating pictures by making hundreds of tiny folds in sheets of paper.
Mr Schubert, 33, admits that his early attempts were not always so successful but his persistence with the medium has paid off.
Each of his works, which have been the subject of major exhibitions, takes a week to complete and they sell for up to £3,800 a time.
He said: “Most of the people who see the work are surprised that the pictures are created by folding paper, they don’t believe it when I tell them.
“Many of them think I’ve used paint or pencil to create the affect of light and shade. But when they realise the pictures are actually folded they are quite impressed.”
