Artur Biernacki

Artur, a Polish origami creator and artist, got interested in the art of paper folding at the age of 15, when he found diagrams by foreign creators. He started searching for other books on this topic. Ultimately, Internet has become his inexhaustible knowledge database. Works of Japanese origami creators, such as Akira Yoshizawa, Hideo Komatsu and Satoshi Kamiya became an inspiration for him to create his own models. He is a conservatist when it comes to rules of folding paper. He uses neither scissors nor glue, mostly folding square-shaped paper sheets. In 2004, he joined the editorial staff of www.origami.art.pl. In 2006, alongside with other members of the portal, he co-founded the Polish Origami Association. He is the author of two books : Origami made in Poland and Polish your origami. He also posts his diagrams in various domestic and foreign magazines and bulletins. He was a special guest of the AEP Convention Origami in 2009 and the Hungary Origami Convention in 2017.

Jang Yong Ik

Jang Yong Ik lives in Seoul, Korea. Born on August 21, 1991, like many people who enjoy origami, he started origami when he was young. Since his birth, he started to create naturally because it was difficult to access origami books or materials there. He enjoyed origami deeply when he grew up and wanted to be a writer. So, he majored in visual design and now is working as a graphic designer. Apart from his job, he edits the Origami Pro series every year. Just as origami had a great influence on the job, the design elements are important to his craft. He usually enjoys a variety of creative themes, and doesn't care about techniques or difficulty. He feels the greatest pleasure in creating a target image.
