Classical book covers in paper cutting

This series of book covers and graphic projects was created as a personal project to expand my repertoire and area of ​​expertise in illustration and graphic design.
The covers were made using paper cutting techniques (in which drawings are created from cutouts on paper), collage and paper sculpture, along with watercolour, gouache and digital finishing. The collection consists of four fantasy books: Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, The Chronicles of Narnia (the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrob) and The Wizard of Oz. 

​​​​​​​
To create each cover, I sought for the main elements and colors that I had in my imaginary from these classic stories: in Alice, what is most representative to me is the fall on the rabbit role, as well as the deck of cards. When I think about Peter Pan, the ship and the night sky always stand out, and in Narnia, the wardrobe and the lion are powerful elements. For the Wizard of Oz, I played with the yellow brick road as being the letter Z, of OZ.
For Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan I also created samples of the graphic project for the book interior. 
A little bit of my creative process:
Thank you!
