Meet Gabriel Wickbold, a young but super talented 25 year old artist from Brazil who takes the most colorful, sensual and expressive pictures you’ve ever seen.
Judging by his pictures he is not only very creative but also cruel. He could spill a whole bucket of paint on you just to get a perfect shot.
At first, we wanted to introduce him as a professional photographer but we soon found out it wouldn’t be 100% correct. Wanna know why? Read on!
“I’ve worked with many different artistic languages, started writing poetry, then became a musician. Also, graduated in TV broadcasting, never actually studied photography but at the same time I believe the photographic technique is so basic that what truly makes the difference is feeling and composition.

There are many immensely talented artists out there who go to great lengths to make their paintings look as realistic as possible, mimicking the nuances of three-dimensional form, texture and lighting. But it’s rare that the opposite is true – wherein an artist seeks to make reality look like a painting. Meet Alexa Meade, who paints subjects not on canvas but right on top of themselves.
Meade’s thick acrylic brushstrokes turn living subjects into exaggerated, flat, painterly versions of themselves that are so accurately rendered two-dimensional, it’s difficult to tell immediately that there’s a real person under all that pigment. When the subject’s environment is painted as well, the effect is so complete that onlookers are stunned when what looks like some kind of painted sculpture suddenly moves and breathes.
“My painting technique pushes the boundaries of perception, compressing 3D space into a 2D plane and effectively blurring the lines between art and life,” Meade told Juxtapoz in a recent interview.
“Typically, when you look at a painting, you’re looking at an artist’s interpretation of the subject painted on canvas. In my artistic interpretation of the subject, I paint directly on top of the subject I am referencing rather than using canvas. Essentially, my art imitates life – on top of life. For example, with Portrait of a Self-Portrait you are simultaneously looking at a portrait I painted of myself, a photo I took of myself, and at me.”
Meade didn’t go to art school – in fact, she graduated from Vassar College with a degree in political science. When asked if her background in politics has influenced her art, she explained slyly, “My projects spin reality.”
