Untitled, Sasha Giraldo Franco, 2020
I usually start off by turning energy into something beautiful by using a unique aesthetic. Having a distinct mood and style is very important to me. I always approach every project with a fresh mindset, I don't like to do the same thing over again. I would say my style is very diverse, murky, syrupy as well as sinister and psychedelic. The visual characteristics of my art work are definitely vibrant saturated colors, textures, shape and movement by using a blurry sway photoshop technique. In the first photo I wanted to give it dreamy sort of feel to make it seem like im in a fantasy world. I also used my photoshop skills to turn my face into a plastic texture and gleam because the theme is “its a plastic world”.
I wanted to do something different instead of what everyone else is doing. My personal perspective to this theme and my photos is a lot of things around us aren’t always what it seems to be, and referred to such as people we think we know, things on social media and how people portray a “good life” on the internet. Fake smiles as well as fake love. It can all be an illusion.
