Expressing Yourself through
Art Collages
Creating paper art collages has become one of my greatest passions. This has naturally lead me to offering collage workshops and individual lessons to others so that they also could experience the joys of playing with this wonderful art technique.
Collage as Art Technique
This art technique gives everybody a chance to “paint”, even to those who think they don’t have any artistic talents. It allows us to express our inner life, our emotions and dreams in a visual form. Words can’t express everything we feel.
Collage – technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. A collage may include magazine and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. The word collage comes from the French: coller, “to glue”. (Source: Wikipedia)

Testimonials
I saw Milena’s art collage workshop ad on Facebook quite by accident. “Why not? I’ve always wanted to create art collages”, I thought. Fortunately, I decided to take a chance. Immediately I got deeply engrossed in the process of creating my very first art collage! I have to admit Milena’s approach as a mentor was crucial. For a long time I haven’t met anyone so mystical, positive and encouraging, who would so easily “infect” others with her passion. Surely, my own collages will be quite different, yet my greatest discovery was the new way to express myself, so skillfully shown to me by Milena!
