Madness is blue

50cm x 70cm. These images are a part of a series of digital fantasy portraits, created using a mixed media technique that combines photography, digital collage, photo retouching and elements of digital painting. Inspired by fairytale worlds and with touches of surrealism, these images aspire to engage the viewer’s imagination. In addition to the references to popular stories and fairytales, the images contain symbols that carry personal meaning to both their creator and the model depicted. Aesthetically, inspiration for the images has been derived from children’s books illustrations, animated films, as well as from artworks that are often linked with the movement of pop surrealism.
