Mariaelena Caputi, Illustrator, San Francisco

Description

An editorial magazine spread features a striking conceptual illustration by illustrator Mariaelena Caputi. The artwork depicts a flexed human arm and bicep entirely constructed from a dense collage of United States currency, including silver coins, copper pennies, and folded paper dollar bills. Set against a clean white background on the right page, the money-sculpted arm visualizes financial strength and business acumen. On the left page, bold black headline typography reads Charities Are Getting Down To Business, accompanied by introductory article text and credits. The composition clean and graphic layout cleanly integrates typography and detailed figurative collage work.
