Can you still work with real materials in 2023? Absolutely - now more than ever.
For me, analogue collage isn’t retro or nostalgic. It’s an attitude.
A way of giving the digital zeitgeist the middle finger with style.
While the world spins faster - social feeds, digital currencies, endless crises - my answer is radical simplicity. Few elements. Strong contrasts. New realities through minimal means. That’s where the magic happens.
After thirty years in advertising (roughly two TikTok lifetimes), one truth remains:
keep it short and simple. It creates images and ideas that stay. I brought this philosophy into art. In times of micro-attention spans, when films shrink into memes and images into NFTs, art must hit harder with less.
Crafting something physical, meaningful, and lasting is my form of self-care - an anchor in the information storm. Sneakers and porcelain? Landscapes and colour fields? Why not. I fuse what doesn’t seem to belong together and turn it into something new, tactile, and powerful.
My work is analogue. It exists. You can touch it.
My motto: Better on the wall than on a hard drive.
