Back to basics. Just black and white collage designs. Trying to brainstorm designs for abstract paintings.
Observe the negative spaces within the simple compositions creating dynamic tension.
Observe the repetition and placement of  similar shapes within the composition.

Remember how we made mixed media hearts from construction paper, glue, tissue, and glitter. Well, this is the grown-up version !!
Playing with the heart shape as any other shape - circle, square, etc. More than any other shape the heart shape has cliched feelings/ emotions attached to it and that makes it even more exciting to work with as an artist.

I have a tendency to organise shapes in simple thoughtful ways, so in the beginning i took simple cutout shapes and arranged them in a pleasing composition.
