Matt Wisniewski<\/a> creates the most alluring portraits by integrating gleaming landscapes and natural forms in a manner that distorts and accentuates the human figure. Matt’s collaged portraits are a result of images collected of a variety of sources, all of which he’s willing to share, plus you can buy<\/a> prints of his work. Although I wish the image above (from his\u00a0Mineral Minds<\/em><\/a> series) was available; a wonderful collection of images and color coming together to create this pensive character that reminds me of a synchronized swimmer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
