French illustrator Valentin Pavageau creates digital collages, which allow him to mix multiple influences and aesthetics that he’s inspired by.
“If you select your sources carefully, you can create moods or atmospheres really of your own, without limitation of drawing ability or style,”
“Digital collage especially allows unlimited possibilities in terms of background creation or colour scheme, and feels very much alive because every single aspect of the piece can change seamlessly all along the creative process. And it’s a relatively recent field of expression, so there’s still a lot to explore in my opinion.”
Digital collage is the fondumental of my artistic practice, however my approach is a bit different in terms of depiction and approach to realism. Pavageau’s work in fact is quite inspiring in terms of colour, texture and subject matter.
