The most precious thing we have is time. Every second the future becomes the past.
When we think of things of value, we think of possessions, people and intangibles like health and love. But time too is valuable.
Sometimes we use time wisely or misuse it but the time it keeps on moving.
There is nothing that time cannot heal thus it is considered as a best healer. It makes it possible for us to go beyond the damage that has happened to us and also teaches us to forgive and forget.
Time helps us to come out of the most difficult days of our life and to lead a happy life again.
“El Pasado” (“The Past”) is an artistic collage that turns us to the theme of time, to the past left behind. It carries a note of light melancholy over the irretrievable.
The basis of the collage is a wooden panel, behind the panel a cord is fastened so that you can hang the collage on the wall without a decorative frame. The ends of the cord are hidden under the collage itself on the front side. Therefore, the fastening is very strong. Collage is made from paper ephemera using gold leaf. The use of gold is intended to remind us of the value of time...
Cuts of newspapers, magazines, advertising brochures are hand-painted with acrylic.
In style, the collage resembles the art of the silhouette, the popular 18th- and 19th-century cut or painted profile portraits done in black on white. It is also a reminiscence of shadow play associated with the Parisian cabarets of the late 19th century.
