Description
Shot in Iceland, against a rocky crest, and a bemused waterfall, a Viking Princess wears a flowing gray gown, as moody as the atmosphere. The metallic silver looks like a vest of intricate armour, while the multilayered skirt cascades outward, in chiffon shimmer. British artist Miss Aniela, creates dreamy art, where the viewer is free to interpret the storyline, as she does here in Ice Spell.
Miss Aniela is a contemporary fine art photographer, exhibited on an international basis and noted as ‘one to watch’ by Saatchi. Working in an original, complex style that balances the intricacies of contemporary fashion and blends with classical art history, Miss Aniela creates artworks reminiscent of the Rococo Revival and the salon paintings of the 18th century.
Miss Aniela works in a Surreal Fashion style. The artistic process of Miss Aniela sees her depicting contemporary models in reference to the works of the Renaissance and Dutch masters, shot within the historic walls of stately homes.
Using elaborate settings, elegant costumes and traditional motifs, she creates her atmospheric artworks with intricate compositions and evocative lighting. She captures her scenes using photography and then processes them digitally, treating pixels as paint strokes. Her work draws inspiration from classical art history, 18th-century salon paintings and the Rococo Revival style that emerged in Second Empire France.
