A couple of years ago I came across Ashkan Honarvar; a Netherlands based, Iran born artist, who produces some really interesting and visually appealing, yet sometimes questionable, mixed-media collages, combining illustration with photographic images (have a look at his work here). And a couple of days ago I came across some of his recent work which was published in I Love You mag , which was an artistic collaboration with stylist Kathi Kauder and photographer Sabrina Theissen.
In the collage series, Ashkan Honarvar used Vanitas symbols "in a search for the equilibrium between life and death". The images are made up of different animal eyes, body parts and flowers; a very contrasting mix soft and harsh imagery to represent animal instincts.
