I Love My DNA is a giclée and screenprint with varnish and diamond dust on Minuet with torn edges by Maria Rivans. From an edition of 50, this print is signed and numbered by the artist.
Although some of the subjects I take on are often quite dark I like to think that there is some humour and light in my finished artwork.

Maria Rivans is a contemporary artist, best known for her bright and eclectic collages. Maria Rivans’ art combines vintage ephemera and vivid, often humorous, imagery. Rivans’ fresh approach to collage maintains a dialogue with cultures and imagery of the past, whilst using the style to reflect the complex world we live in.
Rivans studied 3D design at the University of Brighton, the city she lives and works in today and adores. She has a wide range of influences, including the Dada movement, David Hockney, Hieronymus Bosch, Jeff Koons, Frida Kahlo, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Hamilton, and The Brit Art Movement. She also draws inspiration from outside of visual art, looking to music, film, and fashion in defining her aesthetic. Rivans’ vintage imagery is sourced from second-hand shops, car boot sales, and charity shops. Rivans’ collection of images, which numbers in the thousands, were printed between 1890 and 1970. By collaging and intertwining different film and TV genres, Rivans creates tales and shows how the fragmented and complex world we inhabit can be pieced back together. Rivans has exhibited in both solo and group shows across the UK and Europe, as well as Hong Kong, Korea, and New York. In 2015, her artwork 'Carina' was the face of Scoop International Fashion Show at the Saatchi Gallery, and 'Scarlett' headed Nordea Private Banking's campaign at Stockholm Affordable Art Fair. Rivans' artwork has been featured in The Times newspaper and in 2018 one of her artworks was selected for the Royal Academy’s 250th Summer Exhibition.
We love the precision that Maria applies to the process of collating and assembling her compositions. She dedicates a large amount of time to locating the perfect imagery for each surreal artwork. Down to the smallest detail, each element of her collages are used to forge a unique identity for the figures in each piece. We particularly love how every one of Maria's collage portraits tell a unique story and create a unique narratives that bring each of Maria's characters to life.
