About The Artwork

A boy walks on the street with its balloons. He sells a little luck. This collage / mixed media work belongs to the 'SURVIVE' series All of my works are inspired by weathered walls with posters, flaking paint and all kinds of declining things. I try to create something new, something beautiful with these elements. I assemble original photographs, assorted papers, acrylic, oil, charcoal, ink and pencil in my works. I have always appreciated the appearance of weathered walls covered with peeling paint and old posters, and I revisit this aesthetic with, hopefully, a sharp and professional eye. Technique: Collage, Acrylic and drawing on canvas, textured Theme: Textured / Urban landscape / Urban / Modern / Collage Colors: white, gray, black, red,pink, aqua Color quality: Amsterdam colors, high brightness, no fading, non-toxic

I assemble original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink and pencil in my works. The variety of resources I am able to use has proved indispensable to me. The biggest challenge the collage medium posed was its unforgiving lack of transparency. Finding a way to replicate the effects of transparency afforded by paint, especially water colors, was “a large victory” for me . The preparing labor shows through in my collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces. I believe my body of work is characterized by my skill for reinvention. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, I revive this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of my work is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation.”My tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful possible way to create dreamlike and melancholy images.
