Intriguing Digital Collages By Giuseppe Ragazzini

Digital collages are a form of graphic art that uses virtual imagery and textures derived from different sources and combines them in order to form one final assembled image. The first artists who used collages as an innovative method were Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Today, various artists are further developing this form of art, many of them still working alternately in their sketchbooks. 

Giuseppe Ragazzini, a son of the famous Italian artist Enzo Ragazzini, is today a worldwide recognized painter, illustrator and graffiti artist who has developed his own technique for creating digital collages.  

Everything began with his fascination with George Clouzot’s documentary Le Mystère Picasso. Ragazzini’s technique consists of incessant transformations of the images from the permanence of their preceding elements. He creates digital collages of elements that continuously superimpose over each other and that’s how his impressive, sometimes disturbing collage images are made. His work has been featured at many prestigious venues, festivals and international exhibitions, and published in books and newspapers such as La Republica and Le Monde.  

He runs an Instagram profile under the name @thecollageempire, where he posts other people’s collages that he finds interesting, while his own work can be found on @giusepperagazzini.

Here are some illustrious examples of his unusual art.
