Seniorita Polyester



I love the texture to this artist's work, she uses how-to manuals fully and effectively in most of her collages, which I think adds a mechanical feel. You see a lot of "grunge" in her work, yes somehow it is still very soft and "pretty." Yes, pretty.

Q: Describe your work in 10 words or less.
A: I don't like to describe my work, I prefer other people do it. (I used more than 10 words :P )

Q: What do you like to work with (magazines, photographs, vintage)? Be specific!
A: I love old magazines, old tapes, stained papers, I love to dye papers with coffee and tea. I also like manuals of cars, airplanes and appliances.

Q: How long have you been creating collages and what made you start?
A: I started in 2005, and it was for a college assigment. Since then I create collages because it's something that I really enjoy.

Q: Explain your favourite techniques.
A: Handmade collages are my favourites, I enjoy digital, but I still prefer handmade. I like to cut different kind of papers to create textured backgrounds, also I collect little pieces that I separate by colors and styles. I love to create detailed collages with a lot of empty spaces.

Q: Describe your favourite piece ever created.
A: I think that my favourite collage is 4a and 5a, but I'm not sure.

Q: What other artists do you admire?
A: I love Eduardo Recife's work, also I enjoy Kareem Rizk's work. Richard Colman, Trevor Brown, and Mark Ryden are also among my favourites.

Thanks senioritapolyester!
