Description

'First Meeting' is about being watched....secretly....Captivated by something or someone irresistibly attractive and suddenly being noticed....what would you do? Will you remain silent, or leave, or....
Made out of more than 200 hand-cut leaf and line elements from Vogue.
Each and single one is gently and accurately applied with the transparent glue to the dark-blue surface of 180 gsm High-quality drawing paper. The inverse silhouette of the cutout along with the layering technique is used to create contrast, depth and add details. Besides, it's a great way to appreciate the beauty of an empty space that is most of the time hidden from the eye of the viewer.
Each collage is unique and came to life as a result of improvisation.

•Sold unframed.
•Coated with two layers of professional spray that provides extra protection from dirt, fingerprints, moisture, and fading caused by UV rays.
•Titled and signed on the back, comes with the certificate of authenticity.
•Ships in a cardboard box.

Concept

Maria Vetkalova is a Contemporary Collage Artist, most known for creating unique artworks using specifically VOGUE magazine as a medium. Her particular visual language of evocative works inspired by nature, has organic shapes and looks like a floral pattern.

'I love to create patterns that tell stories through hand-cut elements of VOGUE. Their details, textures, smooth lines are like music for me - a universal language that is able to connect with like-minded souls all over the world without saying a word.'

Why VOGUE?
I always imagine VOGUE as a fragile butterfly, born into this world to amuse and inspire with its delicate beauty for a short period of time...
And then gently fade away and disappear...

In a digital era paper magazines might be gone in 20 years from now.
It is my own way to express love for fashion, capture the history of a certain era and share contemporary culture in a form of artwork with viewers all over the world. The medium itself becomes an inspiration. It opens endless possibilities of creating series of works related to the theme of art, music, fashion, on which I'm working at the moment.
