ARTIST OF THE MONTH OF DECEMBER

Méli
Hoffmann

Montreal

How did you discover collage?

I discovered collage very young. As a child, I loved that activity. Afterwards, I just continued to explore it and deepen my techniques.

What did you like about the collage medium?

What I like about collage is creating from existing images. For example, I enjoy adding animal heads to the bodies of naked women. I am also inspired by astrology and spirituality.

How would you describe your style? 

I’m still figuring out my style. However, I am sometimes attracted to a certain fantasy, sometimes by the opposite with a more «trashy» or provocative aspect. I love bright and shiny colors and most of the time, I love introducing texture.

In one word, what makes you unique?

My background and sources of inspiration.

Where do you find you collage material? What are your favorite magazines?

I find my material everywhere and I take inspiration from everything. I don’t have any favorite magazines.

Any advice for a newcomer collagist?

To let go and to persevere.
