STATEMENT

Through my collage works, I am just trying to make sense of my own internal chaos, mapping my own internal landscape, and processing thoughts and feelings into a visual form.

I am interested in creating meaning from discarded images, inspired by fashion magazines, urban decay, and forgotten places.

Always hoping to find unseen connections between elements, teetering on total randomness and controlled impulses, rewriting possibilities through happy accidents and instinctual markings.

I am listening to the internal dialogue while my body is busy cutting and re-arranging images until a new story emerges from my unconscious.

Everything is being written in real time and in the end, no one knows where it will lead but let’s enjoy the ride together.

BIO

Raphaël Vicenzi is a Belgian collage artist living in Brussels. A late bloomer with no formal artistic education he started illustrating digitally for various magazines for a number of years.

Redirecting his artistic expression towards collage as a means to start a new chapter of his life, his current works are inspired by his personal life and the exploration of his inner landscape through vivid shapes, high fashion imagery, and raw markings.
