"Devil's Smile" is an artwork that depicts a man with demonic features, evoking a mythical or supernatural figure. His face, with reddish hues, is marked by an enigmatic and unsettling smile, which seems both mocking and screaming.

The man's mouth is particularly striking: it is wide open, revealing prominent gums and small, tightly packed teeth. This mouth, half-human, half-animal, gives the man a frightening and fascinating look. It's as if, through his smile and his silent scream, he's expressing perverse joy or unbearable pain.

The man is adorned with a crown of red horns, enhancing his devilish appearance. These horns, combined with his enigmatic smile and deformed mouth, create an image that is both terrifying and captivating. They emerge from the dark background, contrasting sharply with the shades of black and grey, and adding an extra dimension to the dark and mysterious atmosphere of the work.

His bare torso is partially covered with leather straps, suggesting primitive armor or a war ritual. A chain necklace around his neck adds an element of brutality and strength to his image. These costume elements reinforce the idea of a demonic warrior, a being who lives by his own rules and is not afraid to show his true nature.

As an artist, I wanted to explore the theme of evil and temptation through this work. The man's smile symbolizes the seduction of evil, while his horns recall traditional images of the devil. However, despite his frightening appearance, there is also something attractive about him. It is this duality, this tension between attraction and repulsion, that makes this work powerful.

Manipulated Photography

Photograph which has been digitally modified or by another method modifying the original photograph.

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.

Technic Photography

Photography refers to the combination of processes, techniques and materials that allow you to capture a subject in still images. Photograph also refers to the image that is obtained, whether it be phototype or not. This term can also be used to refer to the graphic arts branch that employs this technique.

Tibet Demirel

Türkiye

Tibet Demirel is a Belgian-Turkish photographer who stands out for his unique approach to fine art photography. Born in Belgium and currently living in Turkey, he uses photographic manipulation techniques to create surreal images that focus on identity, relationships, emotions and dreams. Her work is a fusion between photography and illustration, where each image is a canvas for her overflowing imagination.

Tibet's impeccable technique and subtle conceptual ideas create beautiful evocations of universal emotions. It captures both the complex strength and the fragility of the human soul. He expertly visualizes dark fantasies and atmospheric dreams, using the uncanny and clever metaphor, while unlocking what it means to think, feel, dream and express oneself in the urban world.

His work often features the human body, capturing the authentic emotions of his subjects at the time of shooting. He explores questions of human representation and the relationship between the body and the self. Behind each photo, he creates a setting that gives free rein to his imagination, transforming each image into a unique work of art.

Tibet has exhibited her work internationally and received acclaim for her ethereal aesthetic and unique approach to photography. His work continues to evolve, constantly pushing the boundaries of photography and illustration.
