I use recycled magazines, type, maps, photos, patterns and more to create one-of-a-kind collages. By ripping and cutting up these items I am able to construct unique works of art that appear semi-realistic from a distance, yet abstract up close. I love people to lose themselves in my artwork, scanning the fine detail to discover the text and images that intertwine to make these unique 'paintings'.

'African Girl' uses patterned and fluro coloured paper and type from magazines creating a vibrant collage with loads of detail drawing you in.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Collages

Collage is an artistic creation technique that consists of making a plastic creation by combining elements of various kinds: more or less flat materials, such as printed oilcloth, painting or drawing, newspaper extracts with text and photos, paper paintings, documents, various objects of low relief, etc. When the creation incorporates elements in relief, one can also speak of assemblage. This also includes glued papers, which employ a variety of papers, including newspaper, and drawing techniques.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.
