"It is so smoky that there is no reflection in the mirror, and even the opposite face is not visible," sings the incomparable Marina Vlady. And if you have not found the face opposite, you can always see it in curls, clouds and circles, which are formed by themselves from the smoke, and then dissolve in the air, as if they never existed. A fleeting vision, a genius of pure beauty, an illusion, a mirage, mysterious images and amazing forms - and this is just a small list of what can be seen in puffs of smoke in the presence of imagination and a creative mindset. Turkish photographer Mehmet Ozgur is engaged in making fantastic photo collages from individual smoky curls, in which there are faces, and figures, and whole plots. What an artist, an illustrator differs from a designer, is that the first one creates an image from scratch, and the second is only a picture designer, using for his creativity what has already been created by someone before, except that he modifies this very thing, created by adjusting it to fit your requirements. Mehmet Ozgur combines both the functions of an illustrator and a designer, since all his collages are made up of his own photographs.
So, the maestro first takes a series of "smoky" photographs, then cuts off the excess from them, giving suitable curls and balls the necessary shape through Photoshop, and collects, like a puzzle, his magical, fantastic collages, which you look at, afraid to breathe loudly, fearing that this the fragile structure will now simply evaporate, melt in space.
These photos once again prove to us that even in the simplest, everyday things you can see magic, and that even the smallest curl of smoke is already a masterpiece, already beautiful. And the talent of photographers, artists and designers is to beautifully present all these wonders of nature to us, open our eyes to them and open our hearts to this magic.

Mary Lou Zelazny and her surreal reality of collage paintings
For who we are, we should thank not only our parents for heredity and upbringing, but also the society in which we grew up and in which we move. So, if the artist Mary Lou Zelazny was not born in Chicago and did not communicate with local imagists, her creative style would be very far from what she is demonstrating now. By the way, even eminent experts find it difficult to name her style, preferring to say that the artist is balancing on the verge between reality and
Paintings from pieces. Collage portraits by Patrick Bremer
Someone's parents leave a property, a car or a bank account as an inheritance, and the British artist Patrick Bremer inherited his creative talent from his father. So, Patrick grew up in a family where his father was an artist and art teacher, and he, of course, primarily influenced the work of his son.

Collage as a principle of the worldview: paintings from puzzles by Gerhard Mayer
A certain picture was divided into many pieces with ingenious notches, so that each piece has its own place. The task is to collect what the authors of the puzzle have depicted. This is the usual approach to puzzles. But there is also an alternative - the method of young children and the German artist Gerhard Mayer: they create their own canvases from these fragments. The result is landscapes in an impressionistic haze and works with elements of surrealism
