You Won’t Believe It’s Varnish in a Fish Bowl

Earlier today I had spotted a post on The Given Collective about the seriously sexy art of Italian illustrator Alberto Seveso. He has become quite famous for mixing black and white portrait photos with colourful vector designs. The style is known as “sperm shaping” and can be seen in his A me mi piace la gnocca! series (possibly NSFW).

I like exposed nipples as much as the next guy but do you know what interests me more than that? Seeing varnish coming into contact with water. In his Medicina Rossa series of photos, he poured a red coloured varnish into a fish bowl full of water, and used a blue varnish in his Sequence verdastra/bluastra/bastarda series. The images of this beautiful reaction look like they could have been computer-generated but Seveso assures people they are not. See them after the jump.
