Three Iced Donuts

You are so clever Paul, fantastic work!

outstanding I am well speechless

Amazing work, love the whole concept!

very unsettling

an interesting combination… by the way..can I have the chocolate donut?

i love it paul….but also find something freaky in there..great work as usual

far out !! you had to pass through my era – excellent…

Wow.. this is brilliant…very disturbing image..that head!!..so very well done…love the economy of style..

Wonderful Image!

fantastic Paul !

omg !! This is great !!!! real fairytale !!!!

brilliant paul

You are a master at composition and colour. Excellent as always …

i just find it fascinating
it keeps me coming back time and again
i can’t put it away, i can’t put it down, there’s something about it
symbols everywhere…the round exercise balls say so much….the glitz reads like a 12 year olds idea of glamour, yet as grown ups we see the awfulness of too much makeup and glitter, crowding out the loveliness of the natural shapes and lines …. it’s really rather refreshing not to feel naughty for indulging in a donut sometimes :)

Paul,

This creation is . . .
witty, brilliant, hysterical and quirky fantastic!
I love the pink, flapper-style dress and shiny pastel-colored fitballs – it’s all in the details ;)
And for some strange reason it reminds me of Bobs Big Boy LOL

Amazing creativity… this is simply superb!

it seems like an erieingly(if that’s a word) grotesque metaphor for all the girls out there that bust their arses to look beautiful.
well done paul yet another fine composition from the genius that is PV!

What a fabulous statement Paul! Disordered eating and body issues start way too young!

Fab

Brilliant and freaky Paul…little Siena, looks like a model in the making…just as well with Dad clicking away lol!

brilliant composition Paul, Love the surreal feel and the quirkiness in it. As always the Vanzella style of processing is pure genius. You have a great model there Paul. Well done!!

Very creative work…Love it

You have a wicked sense about your art. Love the whole piece Paul!

This is fabulous, Paul. Love the comp and the irony to it all. Well done. An instant fav.

Spectacular as always!

I’m scared AND chuckling at the same time. Wonderfully loaded image, so many elements and messages to keep one coming back for more :)

Well this is certainly thinking outside the box. Brilliant and very clever Paul, love it!

FANTASTIC

wild and different

What a fantasitc commentary on how our percieved notions aof perfectiona are so warped… In general the western world has things so skewed wjhen it comes to health and the idea of beauty… we really do ruin our young girls especially by buying into it all! Great Job Paul! proud to know you! xo

Great work Paul. Interesting photograph. well done.

f-f-f-f-freaky!
Love the grimy texture in the wall.

very cool, Paul. quite unusual composition.

this is amazing Paul

Forget Dreamy Donuts – welcome to Nightmare Donuts. If there was a gym in the Overlook Hotel in the Shining this is what it would have looked like.

i love this, especially the touch with the donuts.
this is so amazing and very clever on so many levels!
excellent ;-) xox

desde lejos se ve apantallante

Such a curious image. Is this the world’s tiniest woman or what? That head with that body… well, I just don’t know what to believe here. Very cool work of art Paul!

You are freakin me out…...!!!......LOLOLOLOL…....... God luv ‘a…..... She is one cute model…...... Maybe a little too much face make up…...(howling laughing now)......but she sure is strong…........ Well done you two…...... you make a great creative combo…..........

Very trippy.. very good!

Scary stuff

insane!!

awesome, Paul..scary/sweet and there are so many stories here, you are creating a strangely compelling world!!

that message sucks big bouncy balls ;O staying in shape can be a whole lot of fun :)
the photo is great however. Good work Siena, those doughnuts look heavy.

this is just brilliant.

very clever. love your direction in this.

Love all the elements here Paul, that tiny body and those huge donuts, and that sign!!
I thought that a healthy body was just regular exercise and healthy eating, not war.

Art Paul. Fecking art

This is very odd.

So… you are paying your models in donuts now eh Paul? Where do I sign up?!!

Bizarre! I love it. Beautifully composed. Nice colours. Strong image.

interesting and challenging image

my thoughts here are….....congratulations Sienna

and also

may we allow our children to be children for as long as possible/may we protect them from the influences of advertising…......and guess I could go on

our children do not belong to us…......

great work Paul

Brillant concept…love the big head…
odd makeup…lol…

oh this is so unsettling! quite freaked me, but so good though…....

This is beyond clever I love it …........this is amazing and so cool

I cannot believe I missed this in my bubble feed 4 days ago!!!!!
Another PV spectacular. I can’t stop staring!
This speaks volumes through imagery.
So very original!

You are a master at composition…
just:well done!

This is simply WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY beyond a photo. This crosses Pop Art with surrealist/ManRay imagery, with Dian Arbus, all in vivid color…...WOW. This is Dr. Seuss on LSD, and Jack KeruaC, DREAMING. fANTASTIC, OFF, BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUSLY COMPOSED…my head is filled, like a jelly donut…...it is saccharin AND tart….......Eat Up, I say, and kuddos to Siena, the model!

I love the way you use symbology….the upside down fan ties this all together for me….

So pleased to find you…this. I enjoy not only this photograph, I enjoy every thought it took to comprise it. Chain reaction really, because now I can’t stop thinking about. That’s a fantastic piece of art! The title is the icing on cake…er I mean donut.

very nice shot!

excellent…....

Funny!

interesting thought

fantastic!

well well well done :)

Strange but kind of compelling

I agree! Strange and compelling like icing on your nose

Ok this to me is a statement on how the new ideal is the shape of a pre adolescent child, the masks women wear and the denial and resulting strain/pain it puts on the person buying into it.

Most Clever. Compelling image.

thats pulling my brain apart that image! hahahhaa

loved this babe…and to stay in shape…should be whatever shape you are happy with…brilliant image

Well-this is just plain old BRILLIANT

bit disturbed by this – thought provoking Paul

LOL!

pure class….....great work

I love everything about it, even
the pastels and I am not one
for the lighter colors :)

What an amazing concept and even greater outcome.

“I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
Albert Einstein

Excellent work:)

Scary, funny, insightful and creative! (There are a million other words I could use to describe it too…)

Strange, disturbing, cool and somehow beautiful… Great work :)

Fascinating, best of both worlds eh…......well maybe, great work

LOVE IT !!!

Jesus … this is wonderful and disturbing
I LOVE IT

hehe fun!

Great funny photo!

very intriguing scene, your imagination never ceases to amaze Paul!

wow, what a concept and a little creepy with that mask, great shot!

Interesting!

Really quirky and funny, yet it is quite unsettling.
Great piece of work Paul. :)

wow

nice..:))))

Great piece of social conceptual art. The contrast of location and model and the marriage of tones between the fitness balls and the models make up / the walls and the dress all comes together into a well thought out and executed image.

Freaky but awesome!

Totally awesome image!

Very unusual picture, really great! :)

beyond disturbing

and at first viewing I don’t know why, all I do know is it isn’t the models head !

Love ‘N’ Laughter

this work sums up several aspects our society in such accurate way… it is a superb work, to me, there are few works that touch the bone and this is one of them.

LOL, fantastic concept and image!!!

surreal

Another super work of art Paul!

Interesting, disturbing somehow, but interesting.

Another Beauty.

iiieeeuuwww..!!!

aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
well, you know anyway. everybody are telling you
but you know for yourself. genious is the word.

you really are a visionary

:-)) Soooo GREAT!

Alarmingly weird Paul. I like it.

Darwin argued that there are two evolutionary drives: survival selection and sex selection. Eating is essential to survival…. and we can’t do enough survival stuff, right. But cosmetics whether painted, worn, or worked and sweated to create a crushing internal corset sure do help that sex selection drive. And here, Paul, you’ve slammed them together.

There’s a word for when instincts clash… it’s “conundrum”.

The face just knocks me right out! :)))

I’m a bit in love with your colour choices across your works. Well done!
