Big City, Big Smile – Modern collage art<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This thing is looking at you. A telescope with a painted grimace, in the middle of the big city. The eyes outlined in pink, the mouth smeared red, as if someone had force-fed it a smile. Modern collage art that turns an ordinary object into a commentary. The grin is wide, almost too wide – and that is precisely what makes it so appealing. It’s not about seeing clearly, not about the perfect view. The skyline remains blurred because it is about something else: the feeling that a smile is sometimes enough, even if it is only painted on. An ironic, honest piece of art – just like the city behind it. <\/p>\n

Split Screen – Modern collage art between reality and illusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Split Screen series is not classic landscape photography. It is not about picturesque postcard motifs or pleasing natural idylls. Instead, the result is modern collage art that shifts perspectives and irritates the eye. Layer by layer, textures, colors and shapes combine to create images that hover between reality and illusion – sometimes rough, sometimes soft, always surprising.<\/p>\n

Every work is an experiment. Urban structures merge with wild nature, horizons are fragmented and reassembled. The techniques are as varied as the motifs: collage, overpainting, digital breaks – what counts is the effect. It is a playful yet challenging examination of what we see and what we want to see. Modern collage art here means breaking up and redefining familiar views. <\/p>\n

Technology & materials<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Each work in the Split Screen series is a unique original – analog, genuine, tangible. There is no retouching here, it is composed, layered and reworked. Different materials are applied, processed and rearranged until structures are created that bring depth and movement to the image. It is modern collage art that not only depicts, but also challenges the eye. <\/p>\n

The result: visual compositions with character – lively, authentic, unique.<\/p>\n
