For Malin Hjorth (@mahjorth), drawing is a way to represent the amusing situations of life. A project manager at a kitchen company in Oslo, Norway, by day, Malin’s playful images are of collages of hand-drawn figures mixed with real-life objects or photos from interior and fashion magazines in delightful compositions. “I start out with no idea, then I start drawing. I cut out the figure or object and place it on the wall or at a photo. When composing my photo I think of the light, and of the shadow my objects are creating,” Malin says. “For one year I was an exchange student at the Academy of Fine Art in Oslo, and one teacher said to me, ‘Malin, stop talking! Start drawing!’ And I did! With my work I want people to see the humor in life.” Photo by @mahjorth
