Andrea Cira

Andrea Cira, originally from Guadalajara, Mexico, is a skilled Paper Artist based in Kansas City. Her expertise lies in crafting intricate compositions using cut-paper techniques, occasionally incorporating 3D paper modeling.  Despite initially pursuing a career in graphic design, Andrea has transformed into a self-taught  artist over the past three years.

Influenced by her Mexican upbringing, where vibrant colors and traditional crafts play a significant role, Andrea places immense value on the meticulous craftsmanship evident in each of her handcrafted pieces. This cultural background strongly shapes her creative process, emphasizing a deep commitment to detail and thoughtfulness in every creation.

Focusing primarily on paper as her chosen medium, Andrea skillfully designs pieces that reflect both her cultural heritage and native language, Spanish. She embraces the challenge of merging patience and precision, finding the ultimate result to be a deeply rewarding aspect of her artistic journey.

Andrea’s artistic skills have led her to undertake commissioned work for notable clients, including Starbucks Mexico and the LA Times. Notably, one of her pieces received recognition as part of the A18 Design Awards from AIGA KC.
