I started the project Life Is a Collage in 2008, mainly out of a need for expression and personal communication. With collage I found a method in which I felt free to present my findings, despite the physical limitations of this technique.
Paper, scalpel, and glue are my materials, and my tools. I seek, select, and classify images that I find interesting or attractive. I then combine them, transforming them into a new reality. The traditional handmade collage has its own identity and ethics, totally opposed to the infinite possibilities of digital, but this is where the true value is—the challenge of finding opportunities and achieving functionality within the constraints. I combine nature, people, and objects only in order to transmit more complex emotions, thoughts, and feelings.
Today this remains my most effective way to represent my visual thinking.
