PEZZ BOYS (2024) Collages by Raph

Raph is a unique self-taught artist, immersed in the artistic world for over a decade. His world of pop art: drawing, collage and assembly of objects

With a burning ion for the eclectic assembly of collage or various objects, she creates a universe similar to Ali Baba's cave, where each piece reveals a fascinating story. His works are harmonious blends of drawings, collages, and various inclusions, enriched by collectible figurines, recycled toys, and candies from the four corners of the world. The strong influence of comics and pop art culture is felt through her creations, where she fuses elements with a skill comparable to that of a DJ mixing tracks to create a new melody.

The leitmotif of a series of Raph’s works, “Don’t grow up, it’s a trap!” ”, reflects his playful and introspective approach to life and art. She questions the reality of life, wondering if it is as idyllic as a Disney universe.

In her works, she often appropriates small everyday objects, consumer goods often neglected or forgotten, to breathe new life into them, an unexpected poetry. Her toys, figurines and candies, meticulously recycled, are of particular importance to her. She reanimates them with boundless creativity, breathing into them a second life full of meaning and artistic expression. She seeks to restore dreams and magic in a world where these elements seem increasingly eclipsed by pragmatic reality. Each unique painting by Raph is an invitation to rethink our relationship with the objects around us, to rediscover beauty in the mundane and to recognize the poetic value in simple things. His art is a constant quest to re-enchant the world, a challenge to the monotony of everyday life. Raph doesn't just create works of art; she creates universes, spaces where imagination has no limits and where each object tells a story, opens a door to a world where everything is possible.
