The stop-motion animation, which takes an incredible amount of patience and skill, is created by meticulously cutting almost identical artworks with only slight differences.
Artist Parth Kothekar is able to give the appearance that his art it is shifting and moving - one animation of a spider looks as if it is crawling in a stationary position on his fingertips.
Parth, from Ahmedabad, India, said he left university in order to follow his dream of sketching and creating papercut art.
The 26-year-old said:"Once I quit the animation institute I began sketching full time and I haven't stopped since.
"The idea of papercuts germinated out of my graffiti practice. I followed the idea and was fascinated by my own work.
"In order to make the art I first sketch it on white paper, then I cut out the sketch using a cutting knife or artist scalpel.
"This can take anywhere from an hour to six and takes up to 200 individual cuts to create each piece.
"After this I use a white gel pen to redraw on the pencil marks to hide them, giving me a clearly white artwork.
"I then take photos of the individual pieces, one after the other and start to create the animation.
"One animation can take up to 2 days to complete, depending on the complexity.
"The spider animation took me longest because I had to animate each leg which meant I had to make many more pieces.
"When I'm working it feels like I'm meditating because no thoughts disturb me during the process.
"When I finish an artwork there is a huge sense of contentment within me.
"So usually I indulge myself in thoughts of what to create next and how to learn from my mistakes from the last artwork."
