[[File:Joisel First Dwarf.jpg|right|thumb|200x200px300x300px|Il "nano" di Joisel]]He first discovered in the 1980s the unique forms created with paper by [[Akira Yoshizawa]], the Japanese grandmaster of origami who had created more than 50,000 models, developing the wet-folding method that allowed for the creation of three-dimensional rounded sculptures. Joisel was taken by the way the Yoshizawa's works blended classical origami methods and standard forms of sculpture in order to make expressive figures out of wet paper, without making any cuts or using any glue.<ref name=NYTObit>Fox, Margalit.

Joisel shifted to working with paper in the 1990s, devoting the remainder of his career to creating origami art using his own self-taught variation of the wet-folding techniques that Yoshizawa had developed and refined.<ref name=NYTObit/> He devoted his life to origami after losing his job as the manager of a printing company.<ref>Staff.

Accessed October 20, 2010.</ref> Living in a small home, he devoted hours focusing on the meticulous design and detail of each piece of origami. He could spend as much as years working out the plans for one of his original origami pieces, with a single piece created over a period of days or weeks, involving hundreds of precisely planned and executed folds to sheets of paper that could measure to as much as {{convert|15|ft}} by {{convert|25|ft}} to create figures that ranged from the size of one's hand to life size, while many were no more than {{convert|12|in|cm}} high. Though his work was displayed at the [[Musée du Louvre]] and collectors from around the world paid as much as thousands of dollars for some of his origami sculptures, the tremendous amount of time that he devoted to each work meant that he didn't earn much income. Themed pieces that he handcrafted included figures from [[commedia dell'arte]] and foot-high sculptures of musicians each holding a finely detailed musical instrument.<ref name=NYTObit/><ref>[http://www.ericjoisel.com/commedia.html Eric Joisel: Commedia dell'Arte], EricJoisel.com.
