2024 - 3d collage - 76 H x 177,5 W x 6D cm - printed-paper and cardboard - unframed. 2 panels art piece ready to hang

In this new body of work, I explore the elusive and transient beauty of life, capturing its fleeting moments through a series of abstract floral still lifes. By cutting and assembling fragments of images and words from printed magazines, I construct compositions that blend the contemporary with the timeless. While rooted in the historical tradition of still life, these collages reinterpret the genre for the postmodern era, reflecting on the impermanence of existence and the delicate nature of beauty.

Each piece serves as a visual exploration of mortality, with the fragmented images symbolizing the fragmented nature of life itself. The use of ephemeral materials, like magazine paper, further emphasizes the temporary nature of the subject matter. The abstracted forms of flowers and other natural elements invite contemplation on the passing of time, the inevitability of decay, and the beauty that persists despite—or perhaps because of—life's impermanence.

Through this work, I aim to create a dialogue between the past and the present, merging the classical still life with contemporary techniques to explore themes of life, death, and beauty in a rapidly changing world.
