ABOUT THE ARTIST
Introducing Emmanuel Mugara
I am Emmanuel Mugara, an artist who works with analog collage, using recycled materials such as vintage magazines and books to create thought-provoking compositions. For over five years, I have immersed myself in the world of collage, exploring the balance between art, memory, and the passage of time. My work invites viewers to rethink the familiar and find beauty in the discarded, uncovering new narratives in the fragments of the past.
The Process
A Glimpse Into Creation
The process behind my work is as much a journey as the finished pieces themselves. Each collage is crafted by hand, I cut, arrange, and layer elements to form new stories. The tactile nature of this process is essential—there are no digital shortcuts here. What you see here is the collection of various sources that contribute to the layers and narrative of the pieces.
The Atelier
Where Art Comes to Life
Welcome to my workshop— where creativity and craftsmanship meet. This space is where my vision takes shape, from the floor to the walls. Every element in this atelier is designed to support the handmade nature of my work, from vintage scissors to repurposed books. It is here, amidst a collection of materials, tools, and inspiration, that my collages evolve into the pieces you see on this site.
