Collages for Fun
What is Collage? It is a form of art that involves arranging and pasting different materials onto a surface to create a new and unique image. Technically, now all graphic design is a kind of collage art, but in digital form. Some mixed media projects use elements of collage.
To me, this technique is fun and it opens wide creative opportunities. It’s faster to make, easier to twist things around, and always unique. Collage is also a challenge because I have to match a lot of things, from composition and proportions to material use.
Some collages I’m making have no specific purpose other than bring some positive emotions to your (and my) life. While others have deeper meanings and have encoded messages that require some knowledge of history, literature, and art movements.
Bright Collages About Everyday Life
We’re Hungry
$40.00These little kittens always seem to be hungry, their tiny bellies never quite full. How can you possibly say “no” to those adorable faces? If you think you can, just take a moment to look into their pleading eyes. It won’t take long before you feel that irresistible pull to take care of them. And now, without a second thought, you’re already rushing to fill their bowls, aren’t you?

Paper Boy Quits

Original Oil and Acrylic Painting
I’m painting primarily in oil and watercolour and depicting conceptual ideas using a variety of techniques and materials. And, of course, I love painting with my handmade paints to make my paintings very own.
I’m not selling prints of oil or acrylic paintings as all them have unique texture and finishing. So, you’ll be the only owner of my artwork. No copies. All paintings go with free Canada-wide shipping.

The Little Brothers Foxes
$1,200.00I love to paint portraits of my family. This original oil painting depicts my two little sons, who always get in trouble, but always together helping each other.
I wanted to show them as foxes because they are mischievous and playful.
I used oil paints in the heavy impasto technique and finished the work with oil bars.

Linocut Prints
What is Linocut? It’s one of many printmaking techniques when you carve a sheet of linoleum and then, using different inks and surfaces, create prints. Even if you use the same carving block, the prints will always look slightly (or not slightly) different as you can use a variety of colours, bring some correction to carving, use different textures and many other things.
In linocut, the most time-consuming part of the work is carving. After a lino sheet is ready, printing takes less time and efforts. My linocut prints are very affordable.

Weird Artists
