Untitled

This is a paper collage set to a repeating pattern. It flickers and shifts in a seemingly three dimensional arrangement, with light and dark shades of slate and navy subtly contrasting. The material is magazine paper, and so the work is rich with tiny details visible when you zoom in. This collage is varnished with a glossy finish, and the canvas sides are painted bronze.

I am a multi media artist born in Haifa, in Occupied Palestine. I paint, draw, and make abstract paper collages from hand-cut magazines. I like abstracts: geometric patterns, colour transitions and chaotic arrangements. This extends to my love for painting 'backgrounds', which have become nebula paintings. I like sparkles, kitsch, pretty scenes and figures but especially when accompanied by jarring detail. This is self reflexive romantic projection. When collaging, I love the way I can never run out of material to cut up, with lots of luscious detail and random words. This kind of cut-and-paste is always giving me new ideas. The other side of the piece of paper is often just perfect. My gallery reflects a fixation with maximalism, patterns , and colour transitions, whether in acrylic or in paper mosaic, or both.
