The Devil’s Daughters – Made Up Movie Poster 2020

Robert Sammelin made this fictional movie poster, "The Devil's Daughters," employing digital tools to mimic the pulpy texture of vintage horror film ads. I am really drawn to how the artist plays with the tension between the digital medium and a gritty, hand-touched aesthetic. Take a look at the surface. See the way Sammelin layers color, almost like watercolor washes, to create a sense of depth and dimension. The blood, rendered in stark red drips, is a bold, visceral element that adds a layer of shock and allure, pulling the eye immediately. It's these moments of raw, unfiltered expression that make the piece so compelling. There’s something of Olivia De Berardinis in this piece with her hyper-realist airbrushing and eye for popular subject matter. Ultimately, Sammelin's poster is an exercise in creative world-building, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality.
