Excession

Image created to make a visual statement against domestic violence

Mariska Karto is an artist based in The Netherlands. I was born in Suriname – South America. Originally Surinamese, Indonesian, African and a little Dutch. I grew up in the Netherlands. In my hyper photo collage works, time fades, creating a strange dimension. A dimension in which time no longer plays a role. The old and new world blended together. I re-create the fresco and landscapes into a new contemporary form through photography and my digital skills. I merge figures and stories into my carefully constructed hyper photo collages. Societies and time-journeys are visualized.
