Representation of the iconic Amália with illustration and digital collages.
Luminous and colourful composition with traditional elements of Portuguese culture and elements allusive to Fado.

The glueglue project is born from a passion for the universe of illustration with collages - a world full of possibilities and visual metaphors. I chose the name 'glueglue' because it transports me to the childhood universe of collage.

In this art form, the register is raw and spontaneous and allows unlimited possibilities of experimentation regarding the deconstruction and (re)construction of the image. The fragments are "cut out" and de-contextualised and, when placed in another context, are transfigured. It is in this game that the beauty of collage lies. The fragments coming from different contexts join with other fragments in the game of experimentations, forming figures that, as a whole, create history. Pop Art and Vintage graphics are a major influence.
