Under the name La Regina Collagista, artist Klara Espersen creates poetic, modern vintage collages. 

​

Born in former Czechoslovakia in 1974, home was a collage of places all over the world for Klara: first Czechoslovakia, then Zambia, USA, Germany, England and now Denmark, where Klara lives on the island of Mors with her family. 

​

Also her work-life is a cut and paste of professions: Even though Klara always knew she wanted to be an artist, she also tried out being a lawyer, an executive assistant, a marketing manager, a communications specialist and a graphic designer before finally dedicating all her time to her one true love: working as an artist. 

​

Klara has loved to collect old pictures and photographs since she was a child. Over the years, her collection has grown into an entire studio located in a garden on Mors - filled from floor to ceiling with old books, magazines and photographs, that she has found on her many travels.

​

Equipped with scissors, glue and great patience, Klara creates her collages, which show a dreamlike world detached from time, space and the rules of gravity.
