Vanasthali Girl 2

Colombian street artist Stinkfish recreates portraits from photographs as murals. These portraits of strangers are adorned with colourful psychedelic elements.

Stinkfish’s work is created, primarily, by portraying a variety of random faces artistically. He explains that he loves to carry a camera with him. This camera is then used to take pictures of random people, who are not always aware he is taking a picture, and from these photographs, he turns the images into stencils. He chooses intriguing photographs found during travel of strangers. Once these pictures are taken, he then decides on which selected ones will be used for wall art.

Although much of Stinkfish’s art holds a strong sense of vibrant colorful and art that is alive, he holds no inspiration to the use of his color schemes. His techniques and color schemes have been developed over the years that he painted and his work is often influenced by different art forms and skills. Ultimately he adapts these items to his work and merges them into his own murals and artwork.
