About this artwork: “Keyla” features the surreal portrait of a woman fusing with a chest of drawers. Her head sits atop the drawer; both her skin and the drawer are of the same white color and adorned with intricate gold elements. The piece is inspired by a baroque and rococo style that is reflected in the drawer and the appearance and hairdo of the woman. Three hands offer her keys, but she remains unsure which one unlocks the final locked drawer at the bottom.
This surrealism artwork explores themes of choice, uncertainty, and the surreal fusion of the human and inanimate, merging reality and fantasy. It uses a creamy off-white color palette with golden elements and some vivid red in the flower and ribbon in the woman’s hair.
Based on a photo of the artist herself, “Keyla” is a surreal visual representation of indecision, inner conflict, and self-discovery. The woman’s head atop the drawer, with her skin sharing its color, symbolizes her merging identity with the inanimate, a symbol of the roles she feels confined by. The locked drawer holds a hidden truth, or a secret part of her psyche. The scene captures the tension between seeking answers and feeling lost. The three hands with the keys offer choices and solutions, yet her inanimateness (also reflected in the skeleton kneeling next to her) prevents her from making a choice.

About the artist: AngieG. is a digital artist and photographer.

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.
