Mixed Media on Old Paper, 2023, 32 x 40 CM

Mixed Media Artwork On Aged Paper By Mart Visser (2023)
This unique work by Mart Visser from 2023 is a mixed media collage on aged paper, using a rich color palette of blue, black, grey, white, brown, and beige. The use of weathered paper as a surface adds a layered historical dimension to the piece. The traces of time on the surface, such as yellowed tones, discoloration, and small imperfections, create a powerful contrast with the modern visual language of the collage. This tension between old and new enhances the emotional impact of the work.

A Story Told Through Fragments And Color
The abstract composition reveals a play of fragments, textures, and lines that together seem to form a layered portrait. The absence of recognizable facial features gives the work a mysterious and universal quality, making it not only a personal expression but also allowing space for interpretation by the viewer. The work reflects Mart Visser's fascination with identity and transience, with the aged paper symbolizing memory and the passage of time. Through his intuitive use of color and material, Visser succeeds once again in creating an intense and timeless image.
