Introducing The Artist
Beauty Astria Kussoy (b. 1997) is a Denver-based photographer and fine artist, recognized for her cinematic, vintage-inspired approach. Her imagery combines a rich, film-like texture with a deep sensitivity to moments of vulnerability and strength. Raised by Indonesian immigrant parents in Southern California, Beauty infuses each portrait with her bicultural background, celebrating the individuality of those often overlooked in the creative field.
In her digital work, Beauty merges editorial precision with nostalgic edits, blending modern techniques with a timeless, human feel. Her influences include Peter Lindberg, Diane Arbus, and the candid essence of LIFE magazine photography, guiding her process to embrace both refinement and rawness. A BFA graduate of Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design (2021), Beauty is devoted to building a legacy of authentic, tender images for future generations.
