The glare you see in some of these is actually in the artwork itself and that is what it makes it so special. Personally they have a calming effect in my brain and a sensation of rhythm with nature. The three-dimensionality and depth of this work is simply astonishing. Once you have it in your hands you will understand my point because you probably haven't seen anything like this before.

Size: 5x7 inches

Medium: Kodak Silver gelatin RC B&W glossy photo paper

This is a Chemigram. Look it up! I've been doing them for a long time and until now I never knew the name of this medium. While I was doing this for almost 10 years without any outside influence my style became more developed and streamlined that other artists who rely on the element of chance most of the time. This is a result of my own combination and manipulation of different chemicals mostly darkroom photo developer fixer and other unconventional household liquids. Everything is done camera-less over exposed photographic Kodak B&W paper and in plain daylight. The result is a combined painting technique using an alternative photographic process. Do Not get confused with the rest of my work that is done on digital photo paper using color inks. The process is completely different as well as the final outcome.
