Handiedan
Handiedan makes wonderful mixed media artworks of pin-up girls. Why pin-up girls? They’re “a perfect combination of sexy, humor and style,” says the 29-year artist from Amsterdam. For Handiedan, her art is “one big personal experiment in how photographic images and drawings can interact together.” It’s safe to say there’s a lot of interacting going on as the collages contain paint, ink, sheet music, playing cards, money, stamps, wood, rusty metal, doodles and whatever else she can get her hands on to help give the work a lovely antiquated feel. Handiedan has a background in fashion and photography and she says this aids her with her compositions. But the desire to create started at an earlier age. “I’ve always drew since I was young and it runs in the family. I always said I wanted to become a designer, a photographer and a drawer.” And now she gets to be all three.
