Portals

“I like my paintings and photos to look like
dreams and fantasies.”
Niel Patel’s digital creations are out
of this world. His manipulations expertly blend disparate
concepts, creating dizzying arrangements that have a
remarkable way of turning your imagination on end.
Surrounded by the idyllic sugarcane fields and forests of
Gujarat, India, Patel edits these surreal images as a form
of meditation.
“I love being in nature,” he tells INSPADES, “For me,
image editing is a way of relaxing, a way to take my mind
off of this world and a chance to create my own world.”
