TypoGrafka is an analog collage artist that anonymously creates art that explores concepts of femininity. Art has always been a part of her life. She recalls: “Everything started from photography when I was in Primary School. Then it was graphic design and film. I cannot imagine my life without creating.”
Although she now works as a multimedia designer, creating collages is where she finds her artistic freedom. “It’s my absolutely private space. The decision to create collages anonymously made me feel free as a bird. I can fully express myself without pressure, expectations and deadlines,” she says. “I can face difficult topics, deal with stereotypes and complexes. And because I create analog collages, it is very relaxing and purifying.”
She admits that it took her a long time to arrive at a place where she felt free to express her own femininity. “As an adult woman, I discovered how many burdens, limitations and stereotypes are imposed on women,” she says. “I decided to face it in my art.”
TypoGrafka begins her creative process with an image, specific color, shape, fragment or pose and then builds a composition around it. She uses a combination of very old magazines with current fashion, lifestyle or travel periodicals to create her art. “I try to make my art zero waste, so I often take used magazines from my friends and explore them. Collage is a very flexible art; you can use almost everything to make it.”
TypoGrafkfa is currently preparing to sell a few pieces of her work for the very first time. “I didn’t plan it, but people ask me about it so… why not? If it can make someone happy, it makes me happy.” To see more of TypoGrafka’s work, follow him on Instagram at @typo.grafka.
