Ania Portrait

Ania Portrait, a photo by gingerpig2000 on Flickr.

Via Flickr:
A portrait of Ania based on an image taken with a phone camera, edited to make it an abstract expressionist work.

There is a trend these days for artists to fully damage the face of an otherwise normal portrait. I see them everywhere. To me, I have always damaged the images, but the whole image, and not because it is trendy and might increase any sales I might have. My images scrape along with the minimum amount of detail to produce a distinct image, everything else being abstract.

I would rather encourage people to open their imagination further than their wallets or purses.
