Meseguer, a graduate of the Orihuela art school, plays with fragmentation to create [compelling collages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shape-of-play). The female form is interpreted with [sheer minimalism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit) and artful placement so as to provoke thought and interest. Each shape portrays a simplified vision that connects Alicia Mesenguer's love for design with her exploration of art. In essence, these collages are a culmination of the designer's ability to emote with restrained passion. The sensual imagery is not in-your-face or vulgar. Rather, it implies beauty and leaves vast room for interpretation on the themes of carnal desire, fragmentation and femininity. Alicia Meseguer sculpts captivating work that dons a sense of natural serenity amid chaos. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fragmentation in Design:** Exploring the use of fragmentation in design can lead to innovative approaches in graphic design, creating visually provocative and thought-provoking collages. - **Simplified Vision:** Embracing a simplified vision in design can allow for the creation of compelling artwork that evokes emotions and leaves room for interpretation. - **Artful Deterioration:** Integrating artful deterioration techniques in graphic design can result in visually captivating works that balance beauty and chaos. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Graphic Design:** The graphic design industry can benefit from incorporating fragmentation, simplified vision, and artful deterioration techniques to create innovative and visually striking designs. - **Art:** The art industry can explore the use of fragmentation and simplified vision to create thought-provoking and emotionally resonant artwork. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can draw inspiration from the concept of artful deterioration to create unique and visually captivating designs that blend beauty and chaos. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [Modern Poertic Ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virginia-sin.md) - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Transformative Furniture Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamorphosis-collection-2.md) - [Chic Norm-Challenging Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wiggle-collection.md) - [Sculptural Mixed-Media Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes.md) - [Gendered Concept-Exploring Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-casa-dentro.md) - [Textile Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral.md) - [Reflective Artful Calming Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-gesso.md)
