Fita cola = Adhesive Tape.
Fitacola is a hand-made Collage project started in 2007 by Portuguese fine artists Graca Santos and Carlos Quiterio,
It’s a figurative ongoing project We’ve been developing since 2005, where intuition and randomness have great emphasis to define the relationship between our acquired collection -(the medium) “I should preserve” (which is morally more accepted) -and the act of dis-assembling/cutting them into new pieces that gain new life together as an aesthetic contemplative piece.
We love playing with all these images/icons/visual noise/information we all come to acquire during our lives and, make something else, something beautiful.
All the artworks are unique and original, made from assembled papers mostly acquired in second-hand stores, both found and bought resources, such as: pamphlets, magazines, posters, postcards, promotional announcements, card sets, stamps, photos, collectibles, etc, etc.
fitacola.com is also a digital scrapbook, with inspiring links to, illustration, arts, video and photography. Read Less
