You were born in Kazakhstan and moved to Germany at the age of 11. How has the culture of the West and the East influenced you? On your art?
My multicultural background (as half Russian and half German, born in Kazakhstan, raised in Germany) allows me to find my way quickly in to all cultures. The influence on my character can be seen mainly in my personal traits, I am very reliable and always punctual, which could be described as classic German attributes. However, I also have melancholic side to me and serious features and I am also somewhat introverted without letting myself be pushed into the background, I consider this to be my Russian soul.
Regarding art… In the East, traditional handicrafts and classical art forms such as painting, sculpture and drawing are very common, while contemporary art is figurative. In the West, Contemporary Art is mostly abstract, conceptual and also often builds on performance art.
I am interested in both views and movements, as an artist I want to go in both directions, I consider myself as a border crosser between East and West.
How did your obsession with collage start? What attracted you to this art technique?
The art technique of collage has always fascinated me. For me, it allows me to go beyond my creativity and gives me as well a way to tell new unexpected stories. You play with the elements, move them back and forth until you find the perfect idea and composition.
I started creating collages while I was working at Condé Nast (Germany) Publishing in the Paris correspondence office. Every time a new collection comes out, the fashion houses would send to the fashion magazines the latest lookbooks with the new collections. These lookbooks are usually expensively produced and serve only the purpose of presenting the new collections to the press and buyers. I’ve been always wondering why they don’t reinterpret the images again and save time, money and resources. And so I came up with the idea of creating new surreal collages from the lookbooks by deconstructing them and by adding new elements to the images. The creative process was a lot of fun and I immediately noticed that the collages also meet with a great response on social media.

A thin edge of seduction and the consumerism fetish is thoroughly blurred in Acosta’s art in the use of both light, and dark tones. Bold lines serve as a fashionable juxtaposition of a peaceful dream-like state and a vivid color, representing action and presence in the moment.
