Surrealism is my favourite are movement, Salvador Dali is my favourite from the period, however I also like René Magritte. When I saw this image of Snow White I instantly recognised the style. I love the way in with the artist has joked around with the style of the apple and played with the original painting by Magritte. I like the humour and also the simplified style which also adds a background to the piece. The painting looks as though it could stand in a Disney museum. I sourced the image from thisislevitation's Tumblr. The piece is inspirational and makes me think what else could I apply a popular character twist too, for example the Mona Lisa, The Scream or a Picasso Portrait.

Snow White

A favourite style of mine is pen work, I love the intricate work and the level of concentration I have to put into the piece. This is why when I saw this piece it instantly appealed to me. The Design is reminiscent to henna in my opinion. However with only the red being prominent, it drew me back to the original Snow White story with the apple. Maybe the design is meant to represent as Snow White bites the apple, all her feelings are small but detailed, uncontrollable and forming many different directions?
The illustrated background is very current and popular today, many magazine segments feature this style of work, the almost manga style eyes, and floral detailing especially is appealing. I can imagine this piece used as a cover for a book or design cover. It has been inspirational in the way It has simplified a popular character but emphasized a highly detailed and aesthetically pleasing background.
