Joseba Elorza



 
 
Joseba Elorza is a Spanish freelance illustrator who is best known for his striking collages. He often uses people from different time periods and collages them into mountainous landscapes to create sometimes bizarre but captivating compositions. I find his collages have a real sense of balance in terms of his use of negative space and colour. The colours in his collages really complement each other and I feel this is a crucial element within collage compositions as too many clashing colours could throw off the aesthetical look of the piece. What I particularly like about his work is its randomness which I think is a common theme in many collage works. It’s this randomness that makes you engage with the piece in order to decode its hidden meaning.
