Arturo Correa-inspired piece

Unfortunately, I didn't get to talk to Arturo Correa about my piece since I was in Manila for Forensics and Debate competition. However, I did ask Jessica Allen what she thought Arturo would tell me about my work. Jessica said that my piece looks like pop art and she also said that it looked similar to one of Arturo's pieces.


I'm very happy with how this piece turned out because collage is not my strength. I've only done it once before and hated the result. However, this time, I finally decided to tackle my fear of failure and try collage again. Through trial and error, I discovered a technique that I've never tried before. I used clear plastic sheets to make sure that the collage paper was properly layered. This technique allowed my piece to look less messy than my first collage, which I'm extremely happy about because messiness was my main concern in the beginning of this journey.

On top of this, I simply enjoyed creating this piece which was quite a surprise for me as someone who is more of a drawing rather than 2D person. This artwork makes me want to create more collages and just experiment with other styles of art in general.
