EDITORS COMMENTS
Haunting Thoughts" is a captivating self-portrait by Finnish artist Petri Damstén, showcasing his exceptional digital manipulation skills and profound exploration of human emotions. The image, taken with a Nikon D850 and a Sigma 35mm f1.4 prime lens in his home studio in Kuopio, Finland, invites viewers to delve into the depths of the human psyche, where anxiety, sadness, and melancholia reside. In this surreal and macabre piece, Damstén masterfully combines elements of fine art and digital art to create an otherworldly atmosphere. The man in the image, wearing a mask that appears to be a part of his own face, sits alone in a dimly lit room. His thoughts, personified as blood cells, swarm around him, enveloping him in a prison of his own making. The chair he sits on seems fragile, as if it could crumble beneath him at any moment. The lighting in the studio adds to the overall mood, casting long shadows and highlighting the textures of the man's face and the mask. The use of a 35mm lens adds a sense of intimacy to the image, drawing the viewer in closer to the subject. Behind the scenes, Damstén's meticulous process involved careful planning and execution. He used Photoshop to manipulate the image, layering various elements to create the final product. The result is a hauntingly beautiful self-portrait that explores the fragility of the human mind and the power of our thoughts to both consume and define us. Damstén's "Haunting Thoughts" is a poignant reminder of the complexities of the human condition and the importance of acknowledging and confronting our emotions. It is a work of art that invites reflection and introspection, leaving a lasting impact on all who view it.
