Simone Esterhuizen is an artist and designer based in Melbourne, Australia, who explores the realms of both analog and digital collage forms. Her stunning creations pay tribute to photographers and their models, and graphic artists whose discarded source materials she salvages from used bookstores, digital marketplaces, and garage sales.
Themes within her artwork range from solitude and obscurity to intense sexuality, carefully curated to compose a cohesive body of work. Through slicing and tearing she manipulates objects and elements to conceal and reveal hidden paths. She breathes life into new images that possess an intriguing sense of distorted familiarity. You can see Esterhuizen’s fascination with utilizing color to evoke emotions and atmospheres unifying her line of work.
