What started as a part time hobby of collecting vintage photos and postcards has turned in to a full time profession for Italy-born, Dublin-based artist Naomi Vona<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Vona\u2019s latest project is focused on\u00a0<\/span>collages, where she works on vintage found photos and postcards creating a new interpretation of the original shots. Simply using pens, paper, colored tape and stickers, she gives a new life to every image.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Blue Spring<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>The Only Tear<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI have been working on collages since 2003, but these kinds of works were born here in Ireland.\u00a0<\/span>A couple of years ago I bought lots of vintage photos and postcards from eBay because I\u2019ve always loved to collect things I could build upon at a later stage. I started to play around with the idea of collages and the results have immensely satisfied my senses and I just haven\u2019t stopped since then.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Forgot Saint<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>The Fucking Textures<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vona\u2019s works are a perfect combination between her passion for photography and design. Every artwork is basically composed of three elements: Vona\u2019s past life experiences, her inspirations and subconscious, all three combine to become the glue that puts every artwork together.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Isobel<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Il Martirio Di Caterina Da Siena<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAll my works are directly associated with my personal life experiences. I like to create double meanings, play with words and I really love to quote songs, books or movies that I love. Lots of my artworks are titled and directly inspired by them.\u201d Naomi Vona explains.<\/p>\n

<\/a>David Byrne<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Possiblita_ Di Espansione<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe fascination for the past is the key, the flashing colours are the portal. I like to imagine that I have an imaginary portal that brings me into the past every time I desire, and my artworks are the visual proof of my time travel adventures.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>And I Think It’s Gonna Be A Long Long Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

Naomi Vona’s work are available at Saatchi’s online gallery<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Etsy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
