Sonia is the first collage artist interviewed that works solely on the computer; and since a lot of us are graphic designers I would like to cover both kinds of artists. Her digital collage is beautiful, particularly the ones with bright spots of colour and backgrounds full of blank space.
Name (Real or Screename): Sonia, sacred-dontknowwhat
URL (Blog, Website): http://sacred-dontknowwhat.deviantart.com/
Location (Where are you from?): Warsaw, Poland
Q: Describe your work in 10 words or less.
A: You can't say aloud what's bothering you? Make a wallpaper.
Q: What do you like to work with (magazines, photographs, vintage)? Be specific!
A: Photographs.
Q: How long have you been creating collages and what made you start?
A: Almost two years. In July I always loved having something interesting on my desktop and also always wanted to be part of this great artistic world, to make other people's desktops beautiful. One day, by accident, I found a tutorial and decided to give it a try. Well... that's how it all started.
Q: Are you solely an artist, or do you work in another profession?
A: I'm still in high school, Photoshop is just my passion. But still, making art is the best thing that has happened to me in my life.
A: No. But I'm thinking of studying art in the future.
Q: Explain your favourite techniques.
A: Depends on my mood. An ispirating quote or image is my base. Then I let my imagination work. No technique in particular.
Q: Describe your favourite piece ever created.
A: Every each of them was made with love, but if I had to choose, I guess my favourite would be poco a poco se pierde, because it shows the effect of how music can work on me.
Q: What other artists do you admire?
A: You guys are all great, but the most important to me are: Loleia, because her works were my first inspiration, Nadine and Makani. And, I believe, many many more to come:)
Thanks Sonia!
