In 2014, I studied graphic design in London at Central St. Martins (and it was the best period of my life!) The teacher took us to the Wallace Collection Museum and said: go, look, be inspired! And he gave the task: we had to come up with items for the museum's gift shop that would reflect our inspiration. I was delighted with this task and did it with great pleasure! I was inspired by the fabrics used in wall and furniture upholstery. Of these, I created a print and then used it in souvenirs for the store. You can see this project at this link
Alas, we had only 2 days to implement the idea, so my print came out so-so... Although at the end of the training, the teacher praised my work and said that it was the most commercially interesting. Now I look at that print and understand that it was ok then, but now I can do much better and more interesting.

So I decided years later to come back to that task and do it again. In general, the idea remained the same, but this time I decided to make a series of collages, in which objects from the museum's collection are collected: paintings, ceramics, weapons and armor, jewelry, sculpture... Such collages are universal, as they can be used in almost any souvenir product, as well as as an illustration, pictures on the net, etc. And personally, I like that the result is a complex, interesting illustration that you want to look at for hours.
Another collages for Wallace Collection: "Eleonora", "The Swing"
Thank you for your attention!
