Handmade Collage Artist

About me

I am a handmade collage artist originally from southern Spain and currently living in St. Louis, MO. Collage became a part of my life in the winter of 2019 and became an obsession shortly after. My collages are cut by hand mostly from magazines. However, I have increasingly been utilizing my own photographs. My inspiration comes from analyzing the world around me, myself, current events, and the absurd. I hope that my works convey a variety of emotions from humor and wonder to hope and despair.

My interest in collage began as an urge to reuse beautiful images and create a new narrative. The infinite possibilities of collage, as well as the inherent limitations of the medium are thrilling. The process of creating a collage can takes weeks to months from conception, to searching for images, printing, cutting, placing, thinking, reorganizing, and finally gluing.
