I haven’t posted a collage in a while. I have worked on a few and some have been completed. There will be more collages posted after this one. I just love this form of art and I never get bored with it.

A Wish By The Sea/Μια Ευχή Kοντά Στη θάλασσα
This is one of the first digital collages that I have posted on my blog. I love the transparent effect that you can make that is difficult and messy when attempting it on a regular collage. I used collage background that I made a while ago. I made the background with gesso, acrylic paints, stencils and text. I then scanned the collage and did some layering on my photograph of a beach in Greece. The end result is a photograph that is much more appealing to the eye.
Rainy Days
I’ve hoped for rain during this blistering heat in Athens, but no such relief. Since I can’t stand it when the temperature exceeds 30° C. So I decided to stay in my air-conditioned home and make myself a mixed-media collage painting.
For this collage painting I used a photocopied picture from a magazine of an old Broadway musical poster. The image of the female and the umbrella are from magazines as well, but not photocopied. I used dark acrylics blue and purple and text in the background. Then I used a paper towel to absorb the excess paint.
