Steven Marc Drucker is an artist, architect, designer and photographer.

All of my works are handmade fine art collage and mixed media—usually referred to as works on paper.

Collage is storytelling.

Each piece has a message to tell, created by images, ephemera and other materials that may include little stories themselves. The pieces are comprised of a variety of colors and textures together telling one larger narrative.

The work is inspired by classical, contemporary, abstract and futuristic art and design, mythology, photography, fashion, graphic design, architecture, politics, among others that are viewed through prisms of surrealism and imagination.

The site is organized into sections below based on different themes and projects. Just scroll down and you will pass through the sections and their art pieces.

Thank you all who come and visit my world of art.
