As soon as I discovered work by Andrea Matus I was in awe! The beautiful nature of her images combining photographs, collage, paint, clay and other materials is my definition of the perfect mix of mediums. She is the biggest inspiration for me regarding the work I have wanted to create for so long, The colours she works with and the symbolism is simply stunning.
I'm constantly excited by each piece I look at, there is always so much going on with colours and textures so it's easy for time to pass you by when studying her work, I get the feeling she is trying to portray a variety of cultural and spiritual beliefs in each piece, some to me feel very spiritual and others like they are from a steampunk kind of setting.
I am encouraged by her to work to experiment with different textures and begin once again into a route with clay (my favourite material) to see what works best for me, The images almost feel 3D, like I could reach into the paintings and touch real flesh and soft fabrics.
