Collage Portrait is a Unique Piece of Art that Depicts your Loved Ones
Have you also taken numerous photos of your loved ones that remain hidden in cloud archives?
Would you like to display a unique piece that also shows the person's character?
Are you tired of long waiting times, difficult ordering or cancellations of photo sessions?
A Collage Portrait combines the photos you took yourself and the person's personality into a complete and beautiful memory. By choosing the most successful photos from your photo stream (and maybe those that reflect how funny, strong or unyielding he or she is) and describing the person in a few words, you provide the necessary material to create an individual Collage Portrait. Production and delivery time is approximately 1-4 weeks depending on the amount of orders I have.
The collage consists of selected parts of photographs and textures created with different fine art materials, forming a unified whole. The color scheme of the piece is carefully balanced using image processing and traditional, artist-quality materials. You can choose from three different color options: black and white, vintage and vivid.
The final piece is a handmade, traditional or digital, unique work of art.
Perfect as a Gift or to Celebrate an Anniversary!
baby's first year, birthdays, the start of school, graduation, anniversary, wedding day, retirement and other turning points in life deserve their memorials.
Who?
I am Katri Piri (b. 1992), Finnish visual artist (BA) and art educator (MA). I have worked for 10 years in various positions in the fields of visual arts and art education. I have been living in Bruchsal, Baden-Württemberg since July 2022 with my Physicist-husband and two daughters.
The idea of a Collage Portrait was born during maternity leave 2023 in Germany as a result of thinking about what kind of work an art teacher who doesn't speak German fluently could do. My phone's memory was bursting with sweet (situational) photos. I thought that many other parents fill their cloud archives with unique and funny pictures too. It would be great to display these unique photos and moments somehow.
That's why I create artworks where everyone can be seen and accepted as they are - important and individual. Collage technique gives the opportunity to combine different images and styles. A skillfully built and crafted piece is a joy for me, which I now want to offer to others as well.
Since autumn 2023, I have already made dozens of customized Collage Portraits for customers in Finland and Germany of their loved ones. I will be happy to serve you in Finnish, English and in German I will try to.
Finnish word "Kollaasimuotokuva" means the same as Collage Portrait. Kollaasimuotokuva.fi and the online store opened in January 2024.
