After it has dried, I tear out the parts of the paper that I particularly like and rearrange them on the picture carrier. The structure of the paper is very fine and permeable. This means that even when the paper is pasted over, the picture below still shines through. This creates a great spatial depth that captivates me again and again. Collaging is a very loving process, because I keep touching the picture by smoothing out the respective paper &#8211; or, to put it better, &#8220;smoothing it out&#8221;. I finally cover some of the works with a fine layer of wax, which acts like a soft focus on the picture and invites you to touch the picture. This creates a complex, deep and coherent aesthetic overall work in an elaborate process.       <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"headline2\">Tips for the picture gallery<\/h2>\n<p>&#8211; Click on &#8221; <strong>Learn more<\/strong> &#8221; to get more picture information.<br \/>\n&#8211; To view only available paintings (not yet sold), simply click on<strong>&#8220;available<\/strong>&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211; Newsletter subscription to be informed about exhibitions and projects.  <a class=\"btn btn-link\" href=\"https:\/\/katja-gramann.de\/en\/newsletter-katja-gramann\/\">Request newsletter<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1690465614226{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 class=\"headline2\">Image gallery of the abstract collages<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_masonry_grid post_type=&#8221;post&#8221; max_items=&#8221;-1&#8243; show_filter=&#8221;yes&#8221; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1690465600490-81c44ee7-6518-2&#8243; taxonomies=&#8221;70&#8243; filter_source=&#8221;post_tag&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1595252754812{margin-top: -80px !important;margin-bottom: -90px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] Abstract collages made from china paper [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;16px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8156&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;16px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] Fascination of picture depth [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;16px&#8221;][vc_column_text]I usually make all collages from very fine china paper, which I color and paint myself with a wide variety of colors.
