About this artwork: “Extravaganza” is a conceptual surreal digital artwork featuring a foot in a wedge high heel crafted from brown soil, green tendrils and leaves, and white pearls. Upon a closer look, you’ll also spot the silver barbed wire running up along the sole. The heel is stutted with red rose thorns, from which small drops of blood are dripping to the floor. Red moths and yellow wasps are perched among the greenery, creating a surreal, slightly unsettling scene with a splash of macabre. The color palette features earthy tones of green, brown, and red, against an off-white background with a pinkish tint, blending the beautiful and bizarre in a highly conceptual way.

“Extravaganza” explores the relationship between beauty and pain, all embedded into a context of nature. The high-heeled shoe, traditionally a symbol of elegance and femininity, is transformed into an organic structure made of soil, leaves, and barbed wire. This fusion of life (leaves, vines, pearls) with danger (barbed wire, thorns) reflects both growth and decay. The presence of red moths and wasps, symbols of transformation and aggression, further enhances the tension. The juxtaposition of fragile beauty with elements of pain and harm hints at the interconnection between beauty and pain and the idea that vanity and the excessive pursuit of external perfection can lead to both inner and physical harm.

About the artist: AngieG. is a digital artist and photographer. For her unique digital art, AngieG. takes photos of herself and uses them to create one-of-a-kind photo manipulations with great emotional depth and meaning. AngieG.’s art always has a touch of the macabre, perfectly merging the beautiful and bizarre into her signature lowbrow pop surrealism art style. Unsettling and mesmerizing at the same time, her contemporary conceptual art derives its power from balancing rational vision with the magic of dreams and the unconscious, finding beauty in the unexpected and uncanny.

By purchasing a copy of this artwork, you can be sure to get an original handmade piece of art crafted by a real human artist with ♥︎. 

Because every artwork begins with the artist herself. For each of her works, AngieG. starts with a self-taken photograph of the artist herself. This may be a face shot, a photo of her lips (for her lip art), an intimate portrait, and other scenes and elements based on a vision she has for the final piece. This all involves a deep level of personal creativity, intention, and emotional connection.

Using digital tools like Photoshop or Procreate, she combines textures, colors, and elements over the photograph, transforming it into something more abstract and symbolic. She might enhance certain details to evoke a particular mood, or even merge multiple photos to tell a new story. Every stroke, adjustment, and filter is applied with careful deliberation. The photo begins to transform—a sky becomes more surreal, figures become ethereal, elements are altered to evoke a specific emotion. The process is tactile and intuitive, driven by the artist’s experience and personal connection to the imagery.

The result is more than just a manipulated photo; it becomes a reflection of the artist’s inner world, layered with meaning and emotion. The viewer can sense the human touch through the imperfections and deliberate choices, knowing that each element is infused with the artist’s personal perspective and hands-on effort. Unlike AI-generated art, this piece carries the artist’s unique narrative and emotional journey, embedded in every pixel.

Each piece tells a story—one that only the artist herself can tell, through her choices, edits, and personal relationship to the medium. In this way, AngieG.’s unique handmade digital art remains an essential and evolving form of contemporary expression, blending the power of technology with the depth of human creativity.
