Campaci

Sara Campaci's collage work deconstructs traditional female portraiture by repositioning the eyes of her subjects. Floral arrangements often frame the figures, and soft pastel colors add delicacy to the compositions. By carefully dismantling iconic representations of womanhood from popular culture, Campaci challenges existing conventions of femininity and identity.

Collage is a way of giving my personal interpretation to the chaos of images that floods us every day. By combining images that would otherwise never have come together, it is possible to reveal unexpected meanings. I find it fascinating that, despite the physical limitations of the technique, the possibilities are almost endless.

Sara Campaci is a Berlin-based artist who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. She has been working with collage for the last couple of years. "For me, collage is a metaphor for creativity. I think that nothing is created from nothing. Starting from what surrounds us, we elaborate through our personal interpretation, creating different shapes, colors, images, sounds, and words. Collage, as an artistic technique, takes existing images, breaks them down, mixes them up and puts them back together again, giving a new definition to something that previously meant something else. Unexpected messages sometimes emerge in the new order given to the chaos of images that surrounds us."
