Elo's work is so much fun. She combines headless, happy, and sticky things (as per her description!) to make really enjoyable and feel-good collages. I like that each of her collages brings something different, looks and feels different. She has great work, inspired by online artists, like me, and many of you!

Q: Describe your work in 10 words or less.
A: Left handed drawing, headless people and animals, happy mountains.

Q: What do you like to work with (magazines, photographs, vintage)? Be specific!
A: Foreign notebooks, old Scandinavian magazines, Chinese propaganda, Icelandic newspapers, typewriters, wrapping paper, sticky paper, sticky circles, sticky letters.

Q: How long have you been creating collages and what made you start?
A: Technichally I started when I was four, I remember reading the word 'c-o-l-l-a-g-e' with a ridicously incorrect spanish accent. But I guess that started a bit more seriously in 2001, when I realized that I had to take away some things out of my brain that were stuck there somehow. It was like a therapy.

Q: Are you solely an artist, or do you work in another profession?
A: I'm an English philologist (a weird word that comes from Latin that means 'language lover'), and right now I'm taking a master's degree in teaching Spanish. But I've always felt more like a 'image lover'. I also take pictures, I guess I just had to invent a future for me with this language thing.

Q: Do you have any formal art training?
A: I wish I had.
