Federica Colletti is an Italian digital collage artist who creates surreal works that combine things that appear to be very different at first glance. She merges classic paintings from famous artists with pop culture references in the most wonderful way.
“I thought about entering the painting, literally. I portrayed myself within it through digital changes and I liked the result. Starting from this simple experiment, my passion was born,” she tells Gestalten.
Colletti has a background in the psychology of communication and has been influenced by movements like Art Nouveau and Surrealism. “I feel very close to the latter for its creative process: free-flowing ideas and attention dedicated to personal observations, plus independent thinking that arises from this mentality. This work is born from non-judgmental observations arising from the spontaneous flow of thoughts, without the filter of rationality that interrupts or influences its flow,” she says.
