Giulia Grillo

Giulia Grillo aka Petite Doll is an Italian photo artist based in London, practicing across the worlds of art, advertising and social media. Her surrealist language is free from reason and it takes the photographic medium out of its conventional objective role. Combining surrealist art with the post-human, she transforms herself into distinct characters, building a bridge between the art and the digital world. Each work carries a whole manifestation of an intricate concept, whipping from the unsettling to the cute, reflecting the contemporary society and its underlying fears and desires. Using a wide array of symbolic objects from elaborate sculptures to everyday things, she distorts and bends the idea of beauty, fusing it with a sense of the grotesque.
