Alejandro Peters / collage art

I believe that destruction is a form of creation. I cut, I paste, I create.

My collage journey started right before the pandemic, since 2020 my art has been evolving, my work is both analog and digital, I like to put my hands on old magazines, books and all stuff.

Creative director, copywriter, and collage artist based in Guatemala. I make ads for a living and art to stay sane. Both involve finding the right cut.

A piece of my collage… now a tattoo

274 days ago, I shared one of my collages on the r/Collage subreddit. Someone (kept anonymous for privacy) said they wanted to tattoo it.
I thought it was super cool and told them to tag me if it ever happened.

Well… yesterday it happened. They got a small part of the collage tattooed.

It honestly made my day! There’s something amazing about seeing how far your art can go, especially when it connects with someone that deeply. From a random Reddit post to something permanent on someone’s skin… that’s wild, I may tattoo something of my own art as well to be honest!!

Please, follow Salvador Vargas, the amazing tattoo artist! IG / @sv3ink > https://www.instagram.com/sv3ink?igsh=MTk4d3c0YmlnZ3Q3Zg==

Still kinda processing it. Art finds its way.

Here’s the collage, and the tattoo (with permission) / Slide to see the pictures.
