The creation of each one of these art pieces starts by flipping through countless pages of printed media sources; then come the scissors and a meticulous selection of thousands of paper clippings, used in lieu of brushes and paint. That’s the core of my immersion art. So get closer…zoom in and you’ll understand why each of these artworks is truly unique and irreplicable. Thank you for giving me the privilege of presenting my creations to you.

Collage is an art form which is made up of overlapping pieces of material, such as photographs, fabric, coloured and textured paper and other types of mixed media. The process focuses on the act of selecting materials and cutting them into the desired shape, before arranging them and pasting them onto the chosen surface.
Unlike other art forms that may rely on proficient technical skills which may require more time to master, such as painting and sculpture, the artistic expertise of collage lies in the choosing, arranging and affixing. As such, the term ‘collage’ comes from the French term coller, meaning ‘to glue’.
One of the best parts of creating art is the endless possibility for exploration. With collage, there’s no limit on materials or approaches you use in image-making. While this might seem overwhelming, I look at it from another perspective: collage frees me up from the “rules” of drawing or painting and allows you to explore and express my unique artistic language of how to interpret the world around me.
