Vik Muniz is an artist who is most known for his artwork of taking everyday objects such as peanut butter, jelly, and even garbage to combine together to make his image. The picture of his that I chose is from an art series called Postcards from Nowhere. It is a picture of Venice that he created in 2014. He created this image by taking used postcards and cutting them to create this image of Venice. If you zoom in on parts of the image, you can actually make out certain parts of the postcards, such as a few written words of a message, or the stamp. This image stood out to me because I have actually been to this part of Italy before, so it was interesting to see the way in which he recreated the environment and its beauty. You can really see how he took his time to make sure the colors blend together perfectly to produce the image.
