Paco Raphael, a Dutch artist born in 1975, is known for his dynamic, multi-layered mixed media works that blend traditional and digital techniques. He began his creative career in multimedia design, working with major brands before transitioning into fine art. His art is heavily influenced by his passion for urban life, graffiti, skateboarding, and hip-hop, which he developed growing up in The Hague. Raphael travels the world to photograph cityscapes, which he then digitally fuses with images from vintage posters of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, incorporating themes of cinema, music, and typography. He finishes each piece by hand with paint, pens, and stencils, giving every artwork a unique, tactile quality. Raphael's work blurs the line between art and design, with his ambition extending beyond the canvas to the creation of everyday objects like furniture and fashion.
About the image:
"Bella Venezia" is a striking mixed-media artwork by the Dutch artist Paco Raphael. The piece exemplifies his distinct style, which fuses vibrant, contemporary urban scenes with nostalgic elements from the mid-20th century. The artwork is a vivid interpretation of the city of Venice, combining modern photo layers of the bustling canal, speedboats, and gondolas with a backdrop of iconic Italian architecture. A key feature is the dramatic black and white portrait of a glamorous woman, who appears to be the famous Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida, subtly overlaid onto the scene. By uniting past glamour with the present urban landscape, Raphael creates a vibrant, timeless collage with a strong sense of place and unique personality.
