A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across these beautiful pieces by Cristiana Couceiro. I was immediately engaged by the simple, collage-like style and muted mid-century colors. There is also something about the use of monochrome mountain imagery and type that really catches my eye.
See more of Cristiana’s work on flickr.
Portugal represent.
Speaking of Portugal, love that third image.

An artist from my country! 😀
had seen it factured here on another occasion. But it is undoubtedly a good influence our
@Christoph I didn’t see that issue but removed the links anyhow. Thanks for letting me know.
@Gilberto, I’d be curious to know what is Portugal like?
I also met Christiana not long ago and was captured by her awesome work. Love her use of color and collage…great stuff!

Dude, another great post. Love the first two.
