Create a Surreal Collage

I love visual inspiration. Part of my "visual food" involves browsing Instagram and Pinterest when I can find the time, and revelling in images that uplift, intrigue, and inspire me.

These collages are by Marcelo Monreal. He is a Brazilian collage artist who collages flowers and foliage with faces.

Expressive Art Process - Surreal Collage

The word "surreal" describes something that's a bizarre mix of elements, often jarring and seemingly nonsensical.

For this expressive art process:

~ Choose a face from a magazine and cut it into two or three pieces.

~ Separate the face on your backing paper. Do not glue down the face fragments yet.

~ Choose images of foliage and flowers (or anything else) and arrange in the gaps between the face fragments.

~ Glue down the foliage and flowers

~ Glue down the face fragments on top.
