About the art
Artist statement
I made this series of "mini" collages, much smaller than the measures normally used.
I'm temporarily applying a very very low "launch" price for this new line.
These "mini" collages are sold with a quality black wooden frame and white cardboard passe-partout, ready to hang, covered by glass (removable).
The measurements are:
- collage: 34 x 34cm
- collage + cardboard passe-partout: 49 x 49cm
- collage + cardboard passe-partout + wooden frame: 54.5 x 54.5 x 1.2 cm
The cardboard passe-partout is superimposed slightly over the collage and covers it up to about 2 cm on the sides, so full measurements of the collage are 36 x 36 cm (visible: 34 x 34 cm)

This is another work from the "Dolls - Dolls" series.
I took inspiration from this series by thinking about the many women "used" as dolls.
It's a collage made with acrylics and lots of little pieces of paper on which you can read words and phrases scattered here and there.
It is often like this when we really get close to the other person: we perceive their secret messages sometimes yes, sometimes no.
To accomplish this technique I initially used "delicate" office paper in A4 size such as bills, receipts, invoices, bank statements, tax folders, business plans, etc.
Then, during the compulsory quarantine due to COVID-19, having finished all the stocks of A4 paper to recycle, I began to shred the paper in the house and considered waste.
So the latest works have greater consistency and materiality due to the presence of paper less delicate than the simple A4 sheet.
The paper of the packages of products purchased and consumed in everyday life, reappears in another form, avoiding the landfill: containers of flour, pasta, tins of tuna, toothpaste, medicines, ice cream, advertising flyers ... all paper that I turn into art giving my small contribution to saving the world.
The surface has small reliefs and I love to caress it, feeling it...
I also use acrylic resin on the surface that gives a glossy effect and protects colors against sunshine and dust.
Signed and dated in back.
Each piece is securely packaged, wrapped and protected for shipping and will arrive in a wooden crate completely safe included the Certificate of Authenticity.
