The Leak - handmade collage Collage

I make collages from magazine clippings for almost 20 years. Once a friend gave me his “Playboy” and “Hustler” collections, because he didn’t need them anymore. I also didn’t quite know what to do with all this stuff... So I started to cutting out pictures and to combining them into funny compositions. I had no better idea at that time. Then, I began to look for ways to make bigger compositions - I have always liked large scaled projects. This is how the technique in which I work till this day was born - using scraps of magazine pages instead of brushes and paints: Journal painting. I am very interested in human feelings, relationships, people and myself. This is my unlimited material for creativity. In my collages I'm trying to create a perfect, exciting, beautiful world of my own, using what is. In every possible meaning of the word.
