Whispering in the sunlight – Contemporary collage art
Red, orange, white – colors that roar while the woman in the center pins you down with her gaze. Her breasts exposed, her expression a mixture of indifference and silent mockery. There are no niceties here, no blurred lines. Just raw contemporary collage art that hits you in the face like a fist. Acrylic, opaque white and textile tape have immortalized themselves here like memories of a night you want to forget but can’t. The view behind the curtain of color doesn’t ask how you feel, it spits at your feet and whispers: Be real – or fuck off. 70 x 50 cm untamed energy on wood. Be real. Everything else is bullshit.
Modern Madonnas – contemporary collage art that cannot be categorized
The Modern Madonnas series breaks with expectations. There are no smooth, decorative pictures for sterile rooms here. This is contemporary collage art that looks, questions and tears up appearances. Paint, sand, varnish – layer by layer, art is created that remains because it does not adapt.
Every work is different. Sometimes collage, sometimes overpainting, sometimes installation. The techniques change, the approaches remain unpredictable – because art lives when it constantly reinvents itself. It is a creative playing field in which materials and methods are constantly recombined, regardless of rules or expectations.
Technology & materials
Each work in the Modern Madonnas series is a unique original – analog, genuine, tangible. There is no retouching here, it is layered, torn, applied. Layer by layer, different materials are applied, reworked, destroyed and rebuilt until the surface not only develops depth, but also its very own dynamic.
The result: contemporary collage art with character – lively, authentic, inimitable.

The creative process
There is no fixed scheme in the Modern Madonnas series. Each work emerges from the interplay of material and intuition. The collages are not planned in advance – they develop in the process.
Traces of manual work, small irregularities, intentional imperfections – the process remains visible here. The works live from the human touch: from visible interventions that show that it was not a machine but a person who worked on them. It is precisely this imperfection that makes them an authentic example of contemporary collage art.
Each picture is created in close collaboration: the photographic basis is created by Martin Wieland, while the collage, overpainting and material combinations are developed and implemented by his art director Dietmar Halbauer. This creative exchange makes each work a multi-layered, unique original.

Framing – protection & effect in perfection
A suitable frame not only protects your artwork, but also enhances its effect. With our custom-made frames, every picture takes on a new presence and becomes a real eye-catcher – whether in the living room, in the office or in a gallery.
We only use high-quality acrylic glass with 99% UV protection, which prevents the colors from fading in the long term. At the same time, the glass is low-reflection, lightweight and shatterproof – just as it is used in leading museums.
A professional frame is more than just a detail – it is a sign of quality. Many of our customers report that their framed artwork has an even more intense effect and noticeably changes rooms. With our durable frames, you can enjoy your artwork for years to come. If you have any questions about materials, formats or availability, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Collector’s value & unique character
The Modern Madonnas series is aimed at art collectors who value authenticity. Each work is a genuine original – created in analog form, signed by hand and only available once in this form. The deliberate choice of materials, the visible working process and the combination of different techniques guarantee the unmistakable character of each piece.
With the certificate of authenticity supplied, this value remains documented and traceable in the long term.
