Dramatically Mysterious Smoky Portraits

Italian artist Federico Bebber creates these stunning dark and moody female portraits through a creative digital manipulation process. The surreal scenes are filled with a dramatic passion, which is emphasized by the neutral black and white tones swirling together in clouds of misty smoke. Bebber says, "Viewers will stop to listen, as if waiting for some noise, without knowing whether it will be music, words or screaming. Will the viewers be able to the detect the humor hidden behind that unrest?"

Bebber's strong composition and seamless digital construction draw viewers into each scene. The ethereal beauty of each woman fading into the smoky background is sensational and viewers can't help but become overwhelmed by the powerful emotions that emerge from each portrait.
