Title: Las Flores Descontroladas // Artist: Kayla Starling
about the piece
| Materials used: vintage magazines, glue Specific methods used: hand-cut collage on paper “Las Flores Descontroladas”, or “Flowers Out of Control” is a piece inspired by chaos, beauty, and our societal obsession with both. Drawing inspiration from the Art Nouveau movement, I tried to emulate the golden swirls and sweeping florals used by artists like Gustav Klimt and Alphonse Mucha. |
about the artist // Kayla Starling
| Kayla Starling (they/them) is a mixed-media artist from Central Florida whose abstract analog collage works seek to explore the wide and ever challenging spectrum of grief, nostalgia, and hope. Combining surrealism and maximalism through 2D collage, they urge the viewer to embrace their most existential thoughts with an open heart. Kayla knows we will see a free Congo, a free Sudan, and a free Palestine. When Kayla is not making art, they can be found working as both a landscaper and professional chef. |
