Known for his striking collage compositions using Instagram’s Layout tool, the anonymous artist has sparked a visual trend that has captivated social media users worldwide.
A Unique Visual Language
Fontanesi’s signature style involves merging two distinct images—one above and one below—to create surreal yet thought-provoking compositions. His latest viral work encapsulates the post-holiday dilemma: the mind still lingering on the beach, while the body is reluctantly back at work. The relatability of this piece has contributed to its massive success.
A Growing Influence on Instagram
With over 171K followers, Fontanesi’s popularity has surged, particularly this year, as more users experiment with Layout-based collages.
