Collection of works from María Aparicio Puentes
Time for a little visual arts now as we visit the work of Chilean creative Maria Aparico Puentes and her mixed media imagery. By combining film photography with textiles Maria curates a playful yet eye pleasing series that emphasises the geometry found in these wonderfully taken black and white stills. I was amazed to learn that she actually hand stitches these alternations to the photo before uploading them to the computer. The colours you see in the images below are actually coloured thread and not alternations on photoshop or other software.

As I was browsing over her portfolio I was thinking to myself what a spectacle she could create if she was given the opportunity to create something larger, like an advertising board for example.
Just imagine if advertising could be this intuitive and creative, I&#;ve no doubt it would be more memorable and most importantly have more substance

It&#;s no surprise then, that architecture was her first calling, which she studied in Chile and then moved on to a Masters in Urban Design in Barcelona. It was during her&#; architect
