It is like making a trip log, in the end everything is organized by dates and places. An illustration can be born of a person\u2019s son, a job, a trip, always depending on my inspiration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Berm\u00fadez is featured in <a href=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/news\/collage-artist-trading-cards-pack-7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Collage Artist Trading Cards Pack 7<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Packs of Collage Artist Trading Cards are a tool for discovering contemporary, fine art collage.

An example of an artist\u2019s work is on the front of the card and the artist\u2019s public contact information is on the back.<\/p>\n<p>We asked Berm\u00fadez some questions about her work.<\/p>\n<h2>Who are you?

In 2006, I lived and worked at a graphic design agency near the Gare du Nord. During my second Parisian summer, I noticed how everyone complained about the absence of the sun, heat, and the good times in June. This is why I started to think that it was all a conspiracy, and that someone had kidnapped the sun. Who could have done this? \u201cWho were the beneficiaries of all these waves of rain?\u201d I asked <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-6388\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Adriana-Bermudez-trading-card-300x450.jpg\" alt=\"Adriana-Bermudez-trading-card\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Adriana-Bermudez-trading-card-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Adriana-Bermudez-trading-card-260x390.jpg 260w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Adriana-Bermudez-trading-card-160x240.jpg 160w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Adriana-Bermudez-trading-card.jpg 467w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>myself. The answer appeared to me: \u201cUmbrella manufacturers had kidnapped the sun.\u201d That is why I decided to look for the sun. I called myself the Daughter of the Sun and started to look for the culprits. Since that moment, every person, country, city, music, phrase that touched my soul or gave me a clue, they became an illustration of the project.<\/p>\n<h2>Your collage <em>The Soul of Time<\/em> is included in Collage Artist Trading Cards Pack 7. What was the idea behind it?<\/h2>\n<p><em>The Soul of Time<\/em> belongs to a collection called \u201cThe Winged Beings\u201d. This composition revolves around the representation of femininity. To me, time has a woman\u2019s soul. My characters are made using the analogue collage technique, in which I interpose the figures with some drawings to create a graphic line for all the Winged Beings (wings and tattoo drawings on the legs) afterwards, I study the background and texture that I want to add to the character in Photoshop, I print it on old paper to give it even more texture and in the end I combine all the pieces to obtain an unique collage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6389\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/in-three-parts-by-adriana-bermudez.jpg\" alt=\"in-three-parts-by-adriana-bermudez\" width=\"700\" height=\"1013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/in-three-parts-by-adriana-bermudez.jpg 700w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/in-three-parts-by-adriana-bermudez-300x434.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/in-three-parts-by-adriana-bermudez-600x868.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/in-three-parts-by-adriana-bermudez-560x810.jpg 560w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/in-three-parts-by-adriana-bermudez-260x376.jpg 260w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/in-three-parts-by-adriana-bermudez-160x232.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What are you working on these days?<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m constantly working on finding my own identity and my personal collage style. I continue working on the Winged Beings series, I\u2019m also experimenting with movement and painting.<\/p>\n<p>One of my dreams is to have an exhibition to show my work. I hope to carry on traveling to have more experiences to illustrate. My dream is to produce a book that summarizes all the projects based on the conspiracy theory, find the culprits, and release the sun.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/shop.kasinihouseartshop.com\/products?search=COLLAGE+ARTIST+TRADING+CARDS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEE COLLAGE ARTIST TRADING CARDS AT ARTSHOP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>See more of Berm\u00fadez&#8217; collages on her website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adricollage.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.adricollage.com<\/a>, where you may also purchase her original collages.
