Flora Borsi and her original photo-manipulations

At the young age of 20 years old, Flora Borsi is an Hungarian artist quite well known for her excellent photo-manipulations. With her bright creativity she's capable of creating series of works that are both original and surprising.

One of her most popular series is 'The real life models' where she recreates paintings from famous artists like Picasso in reality, modified with Photoshop to resemble the traditional works of art. Fascinated by those great experts from the past, she uses her persona to replicate them in the flesh.

Abstract and surreal figures appear under a different form thanks to the creative mind of Borsi, that combines traditional art with the modern world of graphic manipulation.
Another well known collection of hers is called 'Time Machine' and shows the young artist herself appearing in famous photos, mixing with crowds of Beatles fans or walking around a gallery with Warhol.
To not forget there is also the 'Photoshop in Real Life' series, where the artist questions how life would be if we could modify ourselves in the same way we can modify a picture.

With these explicative images, Borsi makes us wonder whether a world where Photoshop was a real life beauty machine would turn everyone into the so sought 'cover-magazine' beauties.
When asked about the role of Photoshop in photography she says, "I personally think that a photo, captured either with digital or analogue camera, is meant to achieve the same result.

It can be used as self-expression, a touching memory, but it also has other goals: to live furthermore, stop time, inspire others, delight your senses and feel what the photographer had felt at that moment when the picture was taken."
