INTRODUCING

Simone Tavares

Simone is a Cape Town-based analogue collage artist whose work is deeply rooted in storytelling and visual poetry. With a background in graphic design, she brings a keen eye for composition, narrative, and intricate detail to every piece she creates.

Using vintage paper ephemera salvaged from forgotten books, weathered maps, and timeworn postcards, Simone weaves together fragments of the past to create entirely new stories. Her collages evoke a haunting sense of nostalgia—an invitation to find beauty in imperfection and meaning in the discarded. Each piece is a quiet reminder that what is overlooked can still become something remarkable.
