Originals in this selection, Mixed-media, Style Collage, 500 to 1,000 euro.
Substances in dialogue
Mixed media and collage are close relatives, since both bring different substances into one picture. Collage paintings in mixed media between 500 and 1,000 euro for sale are right if you look for layers and contrasts.
A strip of linen, a scrap of newspaper, acrylic paint and charcoal over them: tension arises between the layers that painting alone does not offer. Some works are almost reliefs, others stay flat and graphic. A thread may run across the picture as well.

Hang it where light grazes
Light from the side brings collages to life. A spot next to a window or door, where light comes from one direction, lets edges and borders stand out. Too close to a lamp, small additions can cast hard shadows. Hung side by side, several pieces make contrasts even stronger.
How solid is the work?
Listings help when they say which materials were glued and what was used to seal them. At this price level, notes on frame and hanging make sense, especially with heavy build-ups. Detail photos show how edges and joints were finished.
