Ilya Colowgee — Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation

What is the attraction of collages and montages? “Above all, the variability of the tools. You feel free to choose whatever materials you want. When you understand this freedom, the creative process becomes one big pleasure.”

Ilya Colowgee is a graphic designer and multi-collagist from St. Petersburg, Russia. He says he got into design because of his love for magazine collage. “For me, this hobby is comparable to meditation,” he says. “When I realised that it became cramped on paper, I moved to digital and discovered the whole wide world of design.”
