paper-cut layered red sculpted portal
Tags
Composed for a 9:16 vertical wallpaper, create a paper-cut layered relief artwork made entirely from matte red paper, with 12–20 stacked layers forming an abstract flowing cavity that feels like a sculpted portal. The shapes should be ribbon-like and organic but controlled: nested arcs, soft triangular turns, and curved bands that guide the eye upward.
Use studio still-life lighting from above with gentle side bias, producing clean shadow steps between layers and a luxurious sense of depth. Show subtle paper fiber and edge texture, with slight edge fuzz and tiny hand-cut variation that stays refined.
Place the most detailed layered cavity in the lower half to lower-middle, and keep the top third as a calm, darker red-to-near-black gradient with very minimal detail for breathing room. Keep the palette rich crimson with deep charcoal shadows, OLED-friendly vignetting, no text or icons.
