Jose Romussi, a Chilean artist based out of Berlin, Germany, offers an alternative perspective of beauty with his provocative series “Anti-Serie“. In the series, Romussi embroidered gorgeously chaotic patterns onto fashion photos, creating fascinating results. Rosmussi talks about his projects and his motivation on his Facebook page.

My work is a constant search to be able to express and represent my ideas. I know there is more that what is tangible and visible and I do not think everything has been done. Therefore, I am constantly exploring and discovering new techniques and materials. I want to give a new perspective to things that already exist and give a moment in time in the present to whatever has already been forgotten. I am interested on stitching the past and the present: all surfaces are penetrable.
