# Warped Street Art Portraiture The New Work of Stamatis Laskos is Full of Personality By Meghan Young | Published 2014-05-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-work-of-stamatis-laskos References: [thisiscolossal](http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/05/warped-street-art-portraiture-by-stamatis-laskos/) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/siveone) The new work of Stamatis Laskos is just as warped as ever and equally impressive. Having honed his artistic abilities since [2009](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stamatis-laskos), when he first made waves on the Internet, the Greek street artist continues to create stunning portraits that are full of intricate details and odd personalities. Working and living in Athens, the new work of Stamatis Laskos understandably takes over many of the streets of his hometown. This is Colossal quotes Oscar Wilde, "Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself," and it couldn't be more appropriate. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Warped Portraiture:** The demand for more intricate and twisted portraiture can disrupt traditional portrait photography and painting. - **Street Art Expansion:** Expanding street art with more intricate designs and inventive use of color can offer inventive branding opportunities. - **Personalized Art:** Creating highly imaginative and richly detailed artworks can meet the demand for highly personalized art styles. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can further develop unique and detailed art styles that can redefine the current definition of great art. - **Branding and Advertising:** Companies can utilize the unique designs of street artists like Stamatis Laskos to create more innovative branding campaigns. - **Photography and Videography:** The industry can take inspiration from warped street art portraiture to add unexpected and striking elements to their photography and videography projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Distorted Furniture Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Laser-Cut Urban Artistry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-cut-city-maps.md) - [Evolved Vibrant Graffiti Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jan-kalb.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md)
