They take for the soul. They make you sad, smile, wonder, admire and rejoice. They provide an opportunity for a moment to look where even the most desperate traveler will not be able to reach. At least not here, not now, not in this life. They are magical photo manipulations Barbara Florczyk, a Polish artist who creates unearthly landscapes based on her own photographs. Despite the fact that those who are fond of post-processing of "live" pictures in graphic editors have got into the habit of calling themselves photo artists, a real photo artist is not limited to these techniques. Therefore, it is more correct to consider the photo manipulations of Barbara Florczyk as photographic drawings, where digital painting, graphics and photography are mixed and echoed, by joint efforts changing the source almost beyond recognition. Such tricks lead to the fact that the everyday landscape, saturated with the atmosphere of fantasy books, cartoons, videos, as well as the mood of the creative works of other masters of digital art, turns into an unearthly, unreal landscape - and this always attracts, attracts, bewitches.
Along with landscapes from magical worlds, Barbara Florchik's photo manipulations include portraits, or rather, images of people, weightless, transparent, as if they were disembodied fairies inhabiting that unearthly part of the world. Despite the fact that all the works of the photographer are made in mostly dark, almost gothic colors, they have something so gentle and touching that touches the strings of the soul of anyone who opens up to them, feels, understands.
The creative Internet community knows the Polish photo artist under the pseudonym Kokoszkaa. You can see these and other works from the wizarding world on the website of Barbara Florczyk.
