Collage: Australia ( without frame ! )
Feeling the dusty terracotta earth beneath my bare feet, the scorching white Summer sun overhead, perpetually shirtless, and surrounded by the sweet aroma of the ocean. This piece evokes memories of when I was a young 18-year-old, backpacking across Australia. A city boy in search of the finest surf spots, suddenly confronted with the breathtaking beauty of Australia's landscape. I was also determined to conquer my fear of sharks.
Ciel Glue's retro-inspired surf art complements any home, cafe, shop, or space that appreciates vintage art and design, surf culture, or contemporary home decor. Whether you're yearning for the waves of last summer, revamping your space with vintage-style decor, or simply seeking to infuse tropical surf vibes into your surroundings, Ciel Glue's collage is a personal and suitable addition to your walls.
I take great pleasure in finding these images of vintage surfers, their lives destined to the closed pages of a dusty magazine at the back of a library and rescuing them from their dark, eternal fate. Bringing them back to the ocean and placing them on the waves of their life. Giving back to them that feeling of the first drop in.
My line of creation resides around the sentence; “To read the wave". Click for more Ciel Glue.
