Artwork location: France
This captivating artwork is a striking collage that intricately blends elements of vintage print media with painterly techniques. The composition centers around a nostalgic assembly of old newspaper clippings and advertisements, creating an evocative glimpse into a bygone era. Prominently featured is a retro advertisement for "Pommac," a reminder of the mid-20th century’s vibrant consumer culture. Around the Pommac ad, the artist has cleverly juxtaposed various clipped images and text fragments, layering them with a muted color palette that enhances the sense of nostalgia. The use of soft blues and warm browns provides a harmonious backdrop, emphasizing the aged, timeworn quality of the paper. One of the most striking aspects of this artwork is the interplay between text and image. The faded typewriting and partially obscured headlines lure viewers into a deeper exploration, sparking curiosity about the stories and contexts that once were. The inclusion of a smiling woman’s face amongst the collage adds a personal, human element to this historical tapestry. Overall, the artwork stands as a testament to the ephemerality of printed media, inviting reflection on cultural memories and the passage of time. Its uniquely textured surface and masterful composition make it a compelling piece that resonates with viewers, blending history with art in an engaging narrative form.

Presentation
By using a mixed technique that combines acrylic, oil, gauche, tempera, to the praxis of collage, it gives life to the artworks with a dreamlike and vibrant scenario that imprison on the canvas tracks of the real and of metaphorical evocations. Rhythm, pattern and balance is important in the paintings. Images and text fragments sticks out, but don't give the viewer all information, just like dreams and memories its fragmented and fuzzy, just gives a glimpse of what have happened.
Using collage is influenced and refer to a typically Dadaist aesthetics, but at the same time they're purged of the Dada polemic force and iconoclastic fury. In fact, the paintings colour, cut-outs, symbols of a mysterious past, like of the present, slowly emerge on the surface in a continuum of summons and recovery, composing and compressing themselves into new formal structures capable of returning the memory of reasons and feelings, and emotionally closer to the Rauschenberg's memory to aim for a particular text and image to have an underlying meaning.
Documenting the lives and our footprint through time and what the future has to show, history repeats itself. This has happened, mixed with a dreamy, ethereal world.
