Born in communist Romania, Irina and Silviu Székely currently live and work in the UK. They studied philosophy and lived in France and Italy. With no formal artistic training, they chose collage / photomontage as their main ground of artistic games and experiments.

"Grosso modo, our approach to art is very naïve, ludic and hazardous; the manifestations of this approach end up sometimes in finite and continuous reconstructions of once thoroughly accomplished objects."
"Taking into account the proliferation of these objects through photographic means and the gradual loss of ontological values filtered by several artificial mediums, we are giving shape to a series of subdivided collations, whose affinities can be traced back to Dadaist photomontage, magical realism, surrealist collage and other similar futile denominations."

All our collages are made by hand using paper cuts from books and magazines.
