Ignacio Rivas
Handmade collage
" Making a collage for me is something chaotic, you can start with an idea and finish with completely different one. "
I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Since 2013 I have been working with the collage technique, developing a very personal style, experimenting and complementing it with other techniques such as painting, sewing, among others. I consider myself a collector of vintage images which enables me to create unique compositions, visual stories and universes.
For several years I have been giving workshops in different cities and institutions.
In November 2021 I moved to Zagreb looking for new adventures and to continue developing my artistic career.
Nowadays I also make murals and abstract and geometrical designs with different techniques, giving birth to a new era in my production. This new project is called RISCO.
I started making handmade collage in 2013. I always loved the vintage aesthetic, old books and images. So the process for me began when I started looking for original vintage material that I use extracted from magazines, books, maps etc.
I usually go to second hand libraries and markets. Then, from all the material I choose the most interesting images and start making the collage.
Making a collage for me is something chaotic, you can start with an idea and finish with completely different one.
