Surreal lips

• Prize
• Photographer
  Jose Laiño, Spain

I intend to convey feelings using elements of surreal imagery,
using opposing concepts as real and unreal, hard and sharp in
contrast to the soft and smooth, disconcerting scales, the powerful
color of artificial material (representing the lipstick manmade )
compared to the color of natural material (shell).
This balance between opposing concepts is done with minimal
elements and abstracting on a light background, with intent to
obtain a clean and direct image that represents the surreal world
in a single image.
