Dutch mixed media collage artist, Handiedan, brings a seductive and intricate world of pin-ups, Victoriana, cosmology and quantum physics to her prints. With a background in photographic design, Handiedan has been producing artworks since 2007, and has garnered a notable reputation in commercial galleries in London, Paris and Rome and on the street art scene for her murals in New York, Berlin and Newcastle.

Handiedan, 'Centauri', art print giclee

What might not be obvious on an initial viewing is the technical skill applied to each of Handiedan’s intricate hand-cut collages. Each of her artworks are composed by assembling anatomical parts from differing pre-existing images. Following a complex layering process, the end result is a complex, almost three-dimensional effect, producing a striking and intriguing female figure that bends in and out of its background.
