This amazing pictures are from a professional digital artist and photographer from Athens, Greece named Lila. She uses Adobe Photoshop to merge her pictures to create weird 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 snap pictures as he was in possession of a 1960s-era SHUMY toy camera. The talented photographer also went further saying:

"I started painting at an early age. I took some painting lessons at the age of 16 and after 3 years, I got into photography school. During my studies, I started experimenting with image editing programs like Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects, and that's how pretty much digital art caught my interest."

Surrealism has long appealed to the OP as it all began, in some way, with literature and art. The OP recalls seeing pictures in her head as she read one of Poe's books.

"Then, music videos and cinema made me want to make surreal images because I was watching scenes and I was like, "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 from an image make their own story inside their head.
