ABSTRACT

IMPRESSIONISTIC

MODERN PICTORIALISM is about taking an image beyond the depiction of reality with a focus on atmosphere and mood emphasizing aesthetic and emotional impact.

It is about intentional transformation, using the photographer’s tools, to create an image that reflects their vision rather than mere documentation of reality.

The subject should remain identifiable, even if it is artistically transformed. Modern pictorialism retains the viewer’s connection to the subject, balancing clarity with creative modification.

In some parts of this collection the subject becomes obscured and the images move into the realms of abstraction or impressionism connecting artistically with the contemporary movement that challenges the traditional concepts of realism.

DISRUPTED REALISM incorporates elements that emphasize perception, emotion, and the beautifully imperfect reflecting how life feels rather than how it looks and pushes the boundaries of what is considered a faithful representation of an object or a moment in time.

This allows for the subjective approach to creating art where reality and real-life objects are gently distorted to convey deeper meanings and experiences.
