Graceful brushstrokes by way of water colors bring a unique character to Raphaël Vicenzi’s original collages. Strongly influenced by the cultural leanings of fashion and street art, the Belgian artist displays a knack for compiling disparate themes into a single entity; each collage unpeels like a ghostly onion, navigating through layer after translucent layer. In effect, Vicenti's ephermal and gossamer-like collages display a skill for establishing balance, reigning in gratuity while still keeping the audience's eye.The artist has developed quite a fanbase for his stylized collages, featured at length on his Behance page, as well as his Facebook and Tumblr pages. Vicenzi is a self-taught artist who uses watercolors and sketchings to form the base of his works, which he later modifies with Photoshop, as told to Featured Magazine. In 2015, the artist also released a book containing a collection of his best collages, titled LIVING WITH: My Dead Pony.Though the artist’s nickname is the cheeky, My Dead Pony, Vicenzi’s works are a nod to the sensitivity of humans. The majority of his collages showcase fine-featured females, sometimes surrounded by halos of colors and half-obstructed by other design components.
