Margherita Manzelli

This artist is definitely interesting.  She is a contemporary artist with a distinct style.  When I first googled her artwork, I was a little creeped out.  Most of the images I saw were of one subject staring straight at the viewer.  The faces are so eery and I cannot pinpoint why.  She portrays this woman (who looks much like her but she claims them not to be self portraits) as emaciated in empty spaces.  They are portrayed in a vulnerable and awkward fashion but yet stare straight at you with confidence.  Its very disturbing.  The drained colors add to this effect.
