The Poetry and Art of Michal (Mitak) Mahgerefteh
"Oh Honey" Series
Through my collection of digital collage paintings, I aim to raise awareness about bees' crucial role in our ecosystem.
Why I no longer create hand-made collages:
My artistic journey has revolved around creating mixed media masterpieces meticulously curated from materials predominantly discovered in Upcycle centers during my worldly adventures for more than two decades. These intricate compositions weave together a diverse tapestry of elements, ranging from paper, fabric, yarn, and thread to leather, wallpaper, carpet, and metal. Unfortunately, the extended exposure to airborne particulates has taken its toll, leading to severe allergies. In 2023, my physician delivered a somber verdict, urging me to close the doors of my studio and explore alternative pursuits. It took me eight months to muster the courage to part ways with my traditional art supplies and another two months to embrace the possibility of crafting collages on a virtual canvas.
