Chiara Fersini's Surreal Self-Portraits, a Dream World

Eerie and beautiful, sensual and delicate.... this is how I will describe Chiara Fersini's works.

Chiara Fersini aka Himitsuhana investigates the inner relation between photography and painting, and takes inspiration from the Pre-Raphaelites painters and Liberty style. Fantasy is her drug. "The world today is so grey and sad, and fantasy is the only thing that makes me see something different and good. It can also make people more optimistic. How could the world have evolved without fantasy?"


Chiara believes that photography is more than technique, it is more than having an expensive equipment. She is deeply convinced that photography is not the camera, it is the eye that stands behind the camera. Her aim is to portray every single glance of the human soul and encourage people to dream and never stop believing in dreams.

"Shooting a self-portrait is a provocative experience because it allows you to look at yourself through the eyes of others. Being aware of what you are is the most difficult thing to achieve. A self-portrait is truly an artist's representation of self."
~~ Chiara Fersini


Chiara Fersini has already participated in several art exhibitions and contests. Her works have been featured in various magazines such as Advanced Photoshop, NL and Fashion Capital, UK. Chiara lives and works in Lecce, Italy.

Who is Madame Peripetie, part two

Madame Peripetie aka Sylwana Zybura is a polish photographer based in Germany. Unfortunately there is very little info about her, except for the details I provided on an earlier post. The conceptual photographer is greatly influenced by surrealism, dadaism as well as the new wave era of the 80s, British post punk scene and the avant-garde theater of Robert Wilson.

Her latest series of photographs titled "Birds for Tata Christiane" are as striking as her older photographic works.
