Un Conjunto de Ideas

What happens when people and public art collide!?

Created over a two year period from 2017 - 2019 Un Conjunto de Ideas, (“A Combination of Ideas,”) is a series of digital photo collages which explores that question and reflects on art as a catalyst for not just inspiration and self discovery, but also as an agent of change.   This series visualizes the dynamic fusion of people and art and reflects on their symbiotic relationship not as a cause and effect but as a partnership in a transformative creative experience.

Combining a traditional documentary style of photography with a more nuanced method of digital collage, this series takes a lot of inspiration from street art and surrealism. In creating the images I want them to be clearly of photographic origin but I also wanted them to feel imbued with movement and have a painterly. By taking advantage of the unique capabilities of the digital art medium as well as the unique characteristics and location of each event I was able to construct a series of images that reflect on the nature of creativity, individualism and community.
