Movies x paintings
Every new idea is a mashup or a remix of previous ideas. I take this thought and started a creative experiment where I add movie scenes and paintings of artists to bring out new magical realism kinda vibe images.

So, first I had this idea when I was re-watching the Rockstar and I saw this frame.
I thought hey, let's try to add the famous Vincent Van Gogh's painting - 'A starry night' as the background for this as this still was kinda dreamy.
At the time, I got the license for Canva pro to create Instagram posts for my blog posts and I used Canva to make this happen. When I saw the result. I was excited.

Anyhow, here is the end result –
So, then after every now and then, when I am free and don't have anything better to do, I open up the Canva website and mix and match some movie stills with paintings.
After that, there were a few other rockstar movie stills that I added in front of a painting to bring the magical realism kinda stuff to life.
Here are the images:
