Ctrl+ X & Ctrl+ V Collective blends eclectic techniques, pop-cultural references, and vivid storytelling through various media within their art-making process. The work often juxtaposes surreal imagery with everyday characters, transforming into narratives and imagery that question identity, fantasy and social constructs.

Through a collage of digital and traditional methods, the pieces reflect the fluidity of creation and inspiration. Much like the keyboard commands "cut" and "paste," the artwork is a patchwork of influences from urban street art, classical illustration, and contemporary pop culture. Each image offers a layered experience, inviting viewers to reflect on the unexpected pairings, colours, and themes, evoking curiosity, nostalgia, and humour.

At its core, Ctrl+ X & Ctrl+ V Collective believes that art is not static; it is a continuous remix of thoughts, emotions, and ideas, transforming the familiar into something fresh while encouraging viewers to explore their connections with these playful yet thoughtful creations.

Both creators, Saskia and Mike, have Fine Art backgrounds and explore a variety of mediums, including paper cutting, digital illustrations, illustrations, painting, and spray paint.
