German artist
Catrin Welz-Stein creates her works by digitally collaging old illustrations
and photographs. She combines, divides, removes, fills and
retouches elements in Adobe Photoshop to produce digital images that explore
the worlds of fantasy and fairy tale. She says her images, “speak from
inner feelings which we often hide in our daily life.” A former
professional graphic art designer, she feels free from the rules and
compromises she felt in creating art for clients. She now enjoys
“creating art that does not explain itself from the beginning.” Based in
Malaysia, she says “a large part of my work is the search for license-free
images, illustrations or photophos, for which the copyright has long
expired. Old books, magazines and the Internet are my primary resources
for that. Once I have found a fitting image, I break it into pieces,
until the original image is no longer recognizable and an entirely new image is
created.” Visit her website
