Caesar's portraits frequently involve childlike creatures with physical
deformities and grotesque elements set against a fairy tale backdrop of
darkness and sexual innuendos. In his creations he merges elements of
decorative styles and architectural ages, mixing Art Decò, Victorian
style and visual codes from the early 1900s.
Caesar's work has become popular amongst celebrities and fashion icons, such as Madonna, who collects his works and has claimed Ray Caesar is one of her favourite artists.
