Colorful Animals: layered animal artworks by @yonialter

The project

In this collaboration with artist @yonialter, Archicercle brought his animals to life through layered construction. The finished pieces combine recognisable silhouettes, vivid colours and mirrored details, with components that come together like a puzzle.

The animals originate in @yonialter’s artistic concept. Archicercle’s contribution focused on making the physical works and organising the silhouettes for assembly, translating the artist’s forms into a set of overlapping components.

The construction combines multiple layers of plywood on an MDF base. Mirrored acrylic details sit among the coloured areas, introducing reflective surfaces into the composition. The overlapping layers create relief while keeping each animal silhouette recognisable.

To prepare for assembly, the silhouettes were organised into numbered colour panels. This arrangement connects the components of each animal with its layered construction: alongside making the physical work, the task included organising its parts for assembly.

Colour, relief and reflection come together in a composition of overlapping silhouettes.

Numbered colour panels form part of the preparation of the components for assembly.
