About this artwork: “Masked in Eternity” features a surreal portrait featuring a woman holding what appears at first to be an intricately adorned silver mask over her face. Closer inspection reveals that the mask is part of her actual face and has been created digitally. Usually a tool for concealing identity, the mask fails its purpose here.

The woman’s fingers are slightly soiled, with dirt under her nails. Her dirty, unkempt fingers and nails contrast with the ornate mask, implying that her “real” self, beneath the polished appearance, is raw, unfiltered, perhaps even tarnished by experiences. She seems to be looking upward, her gaze directed somewhere outside the frame. She is likely kneeling, as the angle reveals the top of her shoulder.

The color palette is subdued, using dark tones and a black background to envelop the figure. The dark skin tones harmonize with the low-key lighting, emphasizing the depth and intensity of her expression while making the silvery mask a focal point.

Overall, this surreal photographic portrait provokes thoughts about self-perception and the facades we wear. It is a portrayal of duality on a psychological level, questioning if the self we project is, in fact, the true self, or merely an idealized fragment. Despite seeking clarity and freedom from her layered identity, the figure seems to be bound to be “eternally masked.”

Emblematic of the artist’s signature style, this original piece of photo art is unique and handmade, starting with a photograph of the artist herself. As a self-portrait photography artist, AngieG. is not only the photographer, but also the model and editor, creating one-of-a-kind photographic artwork with great attention to detail and creative skill.

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.
