The artist creates amazing collages, reflecting different milestones in the history of mankind.

Malala Andrialavidrazana is a Madagascan artist living in Paris. For many years she has been working on one interesting project, continuing to replenish it with new exhibits of her own authorship. The project is called “Shapes” and is a series of collages that tell about our world.

The artist constantly travels, enriching her paper archives with new valuable items: here are stamps, photographs, pictures, banknotes, maps, drawings and other artifacts that reflect the life of mankind in different countries and in different years. Of these, Andrialavidrazane creates its own unique collages, each of which can be viewed for hours. Any element on the collage is meaningful and meaningful, it is a cultural or political symbol of the era and the people, and also makes its “episode" in a holistic story that the image of Malala "tells".
