Carlo Galfione Adorns Portraits with Intricate Baroque-Style Patterns

Looking like something out of a scene from Garden State, these Carlo Galfione paintings plaster intricate floral prints onto the faces of individuals with surprisingly effective results. After all, who would dare look away from someone with such creative and beautiful face adornments in real life? Only the bravest of the brave, I’m sure.

Italian artist Carlo Galfione paints all of these paintings using oil paints, which only enhances the respectability of each piece considering it would be much quicker to simply snap a few shots of people’s faces and slap on some floral prints onto each person’s skin using Photoshop.
