LA COLLAGIST

Karina Niño de Rivera ~ La Collagist

From the moment I met Karina, the artist behind La Collagist, I was immediately obsessed. The level of meticulousness with which she approaches her thought-provoking pieces is truly extraordinary. Intricate details and carefully selected moments from vintage magazines seamlessly come together in a truly unique way. I am thrilled to share her work in the latest MAIL.BOX.ART cards.

MEET THE ARTIST

Born in Mexico City, raised in Guadalajara, Mexico, and now in Phoenix, Arizona, Karina Niño de Rivera has always been driven by a proclivity for the unique and imagination-provoking. Working as a graphic designer and professional digital artist she started engaging with the tangible – books, fabrics, magazines, and other physical things to create compositions in which she playfully expresses what she cannot in her day job. It is through Niño de Rivera’s collages that her imagination takes over and creates new work from ordinary objects and the abandoned imagery in old books, magazines, and vintage whatnots.  With this vision, she invites the viewer into the new worlds and spaces of her composite creations.

Karina's work can be found on online at LeCollagist.com or on Instagram: @LaCollagist
