Yell Saccani

Slim Cognito — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 11:00:42 +0000

Eilat, Israel based artist Yell Saccani combines digital manipulation with traditional photography and blends both the gentile and the somber aspects of portraiture. Her painting like finished projects merge distortion with softness, resulting in amazing images that vary in emotions from melancholia to rage. That sweet “I can’t look away!” feeling I get from her more distorted and rather dark pieces has made me a fan for years.
