ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This portrait is part of a series and for me it contains the magic and spirituality of India especially in the people. I tried to represent this in an artistic way. The series was not made in India but in my studio.

AUTHOR
Anja Diabaté is an artist based in Hamburg, Germany. She uses Fine Art Photography to transform her concepts and ideas into unique artworks. Her strengh and power is the transformation of her ideas and creativity into extremly expressive and soulful photos. Each of her photographs tells a unique story, her aim is always to inspire a viewer to get into depth and reflection.

Her highest self-requirement is to create multiple photos from a single original, but without ever losing the cohesion to the embedding series. Each artwork represents a definite concept and encourages the viewer starting to create his own story in his mind.
Some of Anja's series are self-portraits and she takes the dual role as photographer and model. The ornate face paintings and make-up are all created and performed by Anja herself. Anja's nature is to deeply dive into her creativity, to create something completely new and to fully enjoy all this. It is the highest representation of her self.
