Paper spaces

Mural art and folded installations shaped by the hands of artist Marta Herrero Arias and her team

These are some of the projects we have loved working on the most

Mural art and large-scale paper installations are Missmsmith’s most powerful medium of expression. Whether individually or collaboratively, each project sparks an internal revolution.


Each mural and paper-covered space is an immersion that blends surface textures with the delicateness of layered folded pieces.


We approach every project as a unique opportunity to deepen our understanding of paper and push creative boundaries in our environment.


We hope you enjoy them as much as we have.
