This technique was first explored in depth by Andrea Russo then also explored widely by Benjamin Parker, which is how I originally discovered the technique. You can find their explorations into the technique on Andrea's Flickr page or on Benjamin’s website. They’ve done some amazing things with it, the possibilities with chiaroscuro are endless so I highly recommend checking their work out.
The term chiaroscuro in art is used to refer to the strong use of contrast between light and dark, or the use of light and dark to create an illusion of three dimensional volume on a flat surface. In Italian chiaro means clear or bright and oscuro means obscure or dark so the word roughly translates to light-dark. And I believe the term was first used in origami by Andrea Russo who is an Italian origami artist.

I just checked both artists' works based on this technique. Mind-boggling!! They even did it with other shapes and they just look so awesome. I started to like this technique on the first day😍It requires a lot of precision and patience.

Yeah, it's such a cool technique, Ben Parker especially has done some really amazing stuff with it. I feel like it doesn't have as much popularity as it should.

Thanks, I will try it. With one hand, it will be more challenging but I think I can make it 😉
