Eugenia Loli’s Collages Are Full of Vintage Eye Candy

Collage artist Eugenia Loli is originally from Greece and is currently based in California. Loli uses vintage magazine clippings, advertisements, and erotica to cobble together otherworldly scenes that often have a sense of humor. Through out her work, she indulges her viewers with lush and opulent imagery: verdant mountains, exotic flowers, curvaceous bodies, and iridescent galaxies. If advertisements promise their viewers happiness, Loli offers us an immaculate utopia. With so much eye candy, her work prioritizes visual pleasure above all else.
