Newspaper portraits 15

I present works made in a mixed technique – collage, monotype, acrylic on glued cardboard. All pieces are square – 50 x 50 cm. I want to build a giant wall filled with portraits of people involved in what they have created – information.

The pieces of newspapers that appear in the portraits symbolize information that we are surrounded by, from which we can no longer escape. Stories attack our consciousness, shapes our personality. It broadens the knowledge about the world, helps to form opinions, and at the same time shapes them against our will. Information – words on pieces of newspaper pages – are elements of portraits. The printed text or photos give them colour – grays of varying intensity. They are an independent means of expression, next to the paint color or the trace of print.
