Paper overlay artwork is a creative technique in which layers of paper are placed over one another to create depth, texture, and visual complexity. Artists may use translucent, opaque, or cut-out papers to build images, patterns, or abstract compositions, often combining materials like tissue, vellum, handmade paper, or found ephemera. This method allows for the interplay of light and shadow, with underlying layers subtly visible through upper ones, adding richness and nuance. Paper overlay is popular in collage, mixed media, and book arts, and can range from delicate, minimalist arrangements to bold, dimensional constructions. The technique emphasizes the tactile qualities of paper itself while inviting exploration of transparency, layering, and material contrast.
