Self Portraits? - Tumblr Posts
I was trying to draw people on this app =v= Ehehehe these took too long…
Don’t SKIP THIS POST ⏯️!! It’s not a sad thing, it’s a 🤘🏾 LIFE AFFIRMING THING 🤘🏾🫶🏾 Party on dudes!! I’m no influencer by any means, don’t let the emoji fool you! I’m here to stand on business. Are you an artist? Are you an artist who has been pelted to near destruction before, during and sometimes even after you’ve tried to utilize your “work” as your creative outlet?? I’ve got news for you. Bro, first off. Me too. What’s up *bro fist and pulls up chair* secondly, it’s not easy because whatever you have brewing in that prettt dome of yours is massive. I’m talking big BLICK ENERGY. What ya gotta do is channel it, squint at that vision, flirt with it, wrestle it, whatever you have to do (and carve some time out for this too. You’re gonna lose HOURS). And when it comes back.. to tap you on your shoulder and scare the hell out of you, things like these photos will be born. And you better tag me so I can HYPE YOU UP. 🤷🏾♀️💜
These were torturing the inner chambers of my brain for weeks before I finally pumped my weapon of choice (the Canon T6i) up and fired these self portraits off.

Animeyed - Self Portraits by Flora Borsi
From Hungary, Flora Borsi is a young and very talented visual artist and photographer. Her exquisite photography and manipulation thematically focuses on identity, relationships, emotions and dreams to create breathtaking surreal visuals. Flora’s technique and subtle conceptual ideas create beautiful evocations of universal emotions, from lust and desire to despair and loss.
Flora at once captures the complex strength and fragility of the human psyche. She expertly visualizes dark fantasies and atmospheric dreams, utilizing the uncanny and clever metaphor, while unlocking what it means to think, feel, dream and express in the urban world. Her work often features the female body and she plays with hiding and revealing the eyes or face to leave only the feminine form, exploring questions of female representation and the relationship between body and self - just as how she is expressing her animal instincts in this self portrait series.
Flora’s ethereal aesthetic has won multiple art prizes and garnered critical acclaim from press including The Guardian’s Observer and BBC Culture. Her artwork was the face of Adobe Photoshop in 2014. To see more of her amazing artwork you can visit her Behance or you can also buy artwork from her Shop.
