    Silver in Fine Art / Collage

I gave my all to this project that lasted a full 10 years, from 2015 to the present. The idea was born out of the contradictory and dramatic nature of the world we live in. We are somehow inert victims of what is happening around us. On a daily basis we are bombarded with news, images, advertisements and oddities, coming from the media and the net. Thus, I chose to represent this puzzlement through art a grotesque and paradoxical reality. Nowadays billions of new images are created daily. No sense of producing now ones. So, I assemble them using the style of memes, commercials and fake news.
