STATEMENT

I describe my collage work as stylish and simplistic. Always working analogue, using old and new magazines, old photos and other found pieces of paper. I cut with the cheapest scissors and use an ordinary glue stick.

In collage making, I work on my instinct. Everything is allowed there is no right or wrong. I grab images because they appeal to me for no clear reason. I grab another image that I feel to match. I continue until I am satisfied with the result.

I have 3 categories: subjects (people or animals), backgrounds (shots of nature, crazy motifs), and stuff (shapes, fruit). One time I look for the right colour combination, another time I look for the nicely dressed lady in front of that appealing house.
