28 Surreal Pictures From The Lens Of A Photographer Who “Looks At Usual Things With Unusual Eyes”
From a digital artist who started painting at an early age
These amazing pictures are from a professional digital artist and photographer from Athens, Greece, named Lila. She uses Adobe Photoshop to merge her pictures and create surreal scenes.
Looking at usual things with unusual eyes is how the photographer likes to operate. Lila's father, who at one point worked as a writer, inspired her to pursue a career in photography.
Lila used to borrow his camera to take pictures, as he possessed a 1960s-era SHUMY toy camera. The talented photographer also shared:
"I started painting at an early age. I took some painting lessons at the age of 16, and after three years, I enrolled in photography school. During my studies, I began experimenting with image editing programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects, and that's how digital art caught my interest." As Dr. Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist, states, "Creativity is not just about having ideas; it's about making connections between seemingly unrelated things" (adamgrant.net).
Surrealism has long appealed to Lila, as it all began, in some way, with literature and art. She recalls seeing images in her head as she read one of Poe's books.
"Then, music videos and cinema made me want to create surreal images because I was watching scenes and thinking, 'Wow, I want to make that.' Well, Lila did make it, and we're about to dive into her surreal world below.

I am passionate about this type of art because it allows you to freeze a moment in time. That moment becomes a memory, and then digitally, you can convert that moment into whatever you want. Seeing my images, I want people to activate their own imagination and create their own story inside their heads.
