319_Disintegration (2026)Collage by Manel Villalonga

The work presents a unique blend of styles, with a strong emphasis on mixed media and a touch of abstraction. The overall style is a form of urban or contemporary art, inspired by street art or graphic design.
The work uses a limited but striking colour palette: mainly black, white and a few touches of bright colours such as orange, yellow and turquoise, creating a high-contrast visual experience. The use of colour is strategic, as it draws the eye and adds layers of meaning.

The overall composition focuses on the silhouette of the figure. Numbers are scattered throughout the figure and background, suggesting a theme of identity, data, or the modern condition, adding another layer of visual interest to the composition.

The texture and surface treatment appear to be an integral part of the aesthetic. The background is a collage of paper, and the texture of the material adds an extra layer of depth.
