Maia Flore Analysis


Maia Flore is a French artist born in 1988. She works for Agence VU and her work is inspired by the boundaries she sees of reality. This photograph above is part of her 'Sleep elevations' series. The theme of the piece is surrealism. I chose to analyse this piece as I would possibly like to add a surreal effect to some of my portrait photographs.
The picture has been taken from a distant view of the subject to capture some of the surroundings as well. The subject of the picture is a sleeping girl, that is floating in the air. It has been made using different layers in Photoshop, the image of the girl sleeping has most likely been cut out and placed onto this background. The artist has used feminine colours to add to the dream effect it is giving.
I like this photograph as it looks so simple and elegant. I also think it is very effective as it looks so real and the composition of the piece looks really nice.

These are some more examples of her work:
