Original artwork description:

For this work, I first made a collage of 64 x 46 cm. I have used small pieces of advertisements published in journals from 1960 - 1964 . Over that I put an old picture of a little boy. I made a print on canvas of the original collage and painted it over with acrylic.

I assemble original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink, and pencil in my works. The variety of resources I am able to use has proved indispensable to me. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, I revive this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of my work is to ?make something beautiful out of dilapidation.? My tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful way possible to create dreamlike and melancholy images.

Materials used:

canvas, print, varnish,
