In Pics: Van Gogh Paints The Quint’s Office, Thanks to Prisma

If Picasso had painted you with his brushstrokes, what would you look like?

Ever wondered how your workspace would be like, if instead of boring desks and computers, it had the hallmark of Van Gogh’s genius? Or if Picasso had painted you with his brushstrokes while you were reading a book on a couch?

The Prisma app does just that. Using styles of famous artists like Picasso, Van Gogh, Levitan, artificial intelligence sensors and neural networks, the app turns everyday photos into approximations of stunning artistic styles.

And on one fine night, The Quint decided to turn the lens to our workplace, to see what the fuss is all about.

The interface is minimalistic and easy to use. The app is available only on iOS for now. But since the app has become such a rage, Android versions will be made available soon.

The 34 filters available on the app are an interesting mix of classic artistic styles and more contemporary trends, like Heisenberg and Greyscale.

The best way to use the Prisma app is to shoot simple objects and then play around with filters.
