After losing his construction company in the recession, Felix Semper was looking for a new way forward. He discovered a love for the art of paper sculpting. His travels led him on a mission to reconnect with his roots and family history in Northern Spain.

Felix says, “We live in a beautiful world full of color and when we travel, we learn to see things in a different way.”
