About the Item

Limited edition framed figurative photograph titled "Shirin Neshat" by Laurina Paperina - Edition 3/3 Laurina Paperina, the artistic alter ego of Laura Scottini, pokes fun at art and life in her morbidly humorous paintings, drawings, installations, sculptures, animations, and photographs. Her series, "Artist’s Face–Balloons," is a playful photographic portrait series that blends human bodies with balloon heads. The project, which includes portraits of Frida Kahlo, Cindy Sherman, Shirin Neshat, and even Paperina herself, creatively interprets each artist based on a combination of appearance and artistic style. Set within a studio, a bedroom, or against a blank wall, each unconventional image features a figure holding up a large balloon face covered with an artist-specific illustration. In the thoughtful collection, Paperina visually conveys personalities by highlighting recognizable details from each artist's career and blending them naturally into unique balloon designs and backgrounds. Much of her work involves witty commentary on current events. However, she does so in a whimsical way because she states: “I don't want to make serious art!” Laurina Paperina has exhibited extensively throughout Europe, the USA, and beyond. Her superpower is her ability to create art that ameliorates the abundance of seriousness in the world and makes the viewer smile.
