Playfully Complex Narratives in Collages by Sombra

Sombra, Victor Ruano - paper collage 31, flower face

Sombra (aka, Victor Ruano) is a freelance multi-disciplinarian artist working in collage, graphic design, filmmaking, and more. As a self-proclaimed “visual storyteller,” he is devoted to developing personal narratives in his art, as seen in his colorful and experimental collages. Modern and vintage imagery combine to tell complicated stories of humanity, such as swamp monsters masquerading as desirable lovers, and flowers that burst out of bodies next to symbols of sexuality and war.
