This is a digital collage done by the Flickr user Javier Piragauta, and I found it by browsing through Flickr looking for some interesting collages. He has a whole folder of collages he's done, all of them great, but I found this one to be the best of them all.
There's just a certain whimsical nature to the way it's done, it makes me smile every time I see it.
He's a Spanish artist, so to read the blurb that he wrote, I had to put it through Google Translate, but what he says about this piece is really interesting!
"This is a collage of life, millions of pieces placed one to one by creating a greater whole that is more than a caricature. I have a thousand memories of childhood as the image of Dr. Jose Gregorio Hernandez, my great-grandmother prayed a lot to him to heal the sick and did, filled with herbs to the person and leave them with their prayers as new lol.
Cassette recorders, headphones, type ornaments Louis XV, the famous African are some of the things I saw at that time and now I like to revive the label giving RETRO, I think each and every one of them I have something to say, great is shape them and let them know a little of my life, and have fun watching these crazy haha."
It's a little hard to interpret, but it seems this collage is made from images of his childhood, which a pretty awesome place of inspiration!
