If you love watching artistic content, you cannot miss the video of an artist creating a portrait of Cillian Murphy just by cutting paper.

In the video, shared on Instagram by artist Eduardi Tsokolakyan, you can see that he is following an image of Peaky Blinders star Thomas Shelby on his screen. In front of the screen, he is holding paper and scissors in his hands.

As the video begins, he begins cutting the paper and creating a stunning portrait cutout of the character entirely out of paper.

The video, which appears to be a time lapse, shows the full process. However, there's not much to see in the video as the artist is just cutting the paper, which is folded in his hands. What makes the wait worthwhile is the final result, in which the artist reveals the portrait.

From Henry Cavill to Michael Jackson, the artist has created many videos, but the one featuring Thomas Shelby has gone massively viral. The video has so far received more than 150k views and more than 11k likes.

The video is flooded with comments from many people who are shocked at the artist's creation. A woman was in disbelief at her sight, she wrote, "How is that even possible?! it¡¯s even hard to cut a straight line, lol."

Another curious man commented on the video and questioned, "I'm legitimately curious- what's your method/approach? Do you plan your cuts beforehand? Is there a video or series I can watch to learn technique? It honestly looks like magic!" Many people lauded his skills, a man wrote, " Skill level 1000000000000000000000000."

The art is called papercutting

Scherenschnitte, which means "scissor cuts" in German, is the art of paper cutting design, or simply paper cutting.

As per online reports, the art tradition was founded in Switzerland and Germany in the 16th century, and was brought to Colonial America in the 18th century by Swiss and German immigrants who settled primarily in Pennsylvania.
