Capture a memory in collage form – create your own postcard from impressions and images.
Description:
In this creative workshop, participants will make personal postcards using collage techniques – with templates, colorful paper, and found materials. These artworks become snapshots of memories, scenes from the surrounding world, or portraits of people we want to remember. It’s an intuitive, artistic way to record impressions, without a camera – with your own hands and imagination instead.

Author of the monograph “Paper Chessboard” on drawing and collage, and co-author of “Interdisciplinarity – Visual Arts – Internal and External Correlations and Tensions.”
For many years, she has focused on the subject of women in art – an intimate narrative and a pretext for reflecting on universal themes of feminine identity, what is considered “feminine,” and the societal constructs around it. She searches for fullness in both the sacred and profane – in pain, ugliness, physiology, and beauty. Her art is not just intellectual – she strives to make her images physically affect the viewer, to be felt beneath the skin. Energy is the carrier of her story, one shaped by surviving a life-threatening illness and living with a disability. Her works often address the complex theme of bodily wounding. In addition to painting, she also works with textiles and ceramics.
