KMS Art Studio

My work is inspired by nature, surrealism, fashion, places, people and most of the times my own imagination. I cut images from vintage books and magazines that are no longer in use. Collage making feels like an adventure; an inventive and innovative approach to art as it gives the one-of-a-kind aesthetic and uniqueness to it. The use of seemingly worthless or often overlooked items is inspiring as it makes my art GREEN – earth friendly. I hope you can join me in this journey of Re-creation, Re-use and Re-engineering.
