Two mirrored faces positioned upside down toward each other, nearly touching lips. One mouth is painted bright red and the other vivid pink, creating a surreal, graphic contrast against soft skin tones and a neutral background.

PLAYTIME is Straulino’s first monograph. Situated between photography, fashion, and fine art, it presents sculptural, highly stylized imagery. Bodies appear abstracted and suspended, transformed into timeless, enigmatic forms.

WORK

A clean white book-cover style composition featuring a pale face with closed eyes emerging from the background. Thick black paint streaks cross the mouth area. Text on the right reads Alexander Straulino Playtime, giving it an editorial publishing aesthetic.
