The Man And The Dog

While wandering in the quiet and deserted streets of Starigrad, I came upon this man and his dog. Those two organic forms, surrounded by lines on all sides, immediately grabbed my attention. The windows, stairs, walls, and even the street are all comprised of lines that seem to pull your gaze in one direction.

The Gate

Sometimes it's not what it is but what it can be. I saw this design on an iron gate during one of my walks with my friend Lykke in Paris. She probably wondered then why I was taking a picture of the gate but did not say anything. Like with most photos I take, the "something" that I see is not always apparent, even to me. What was I trying to achieve when I started to work on this piece? To be honest, I do not know. I started with "cleaning" the picture and removing any item that took my eyes away from the ironwork. I then played with colors and eventually ended up with several colored versions I envisioned as a series. 

When Lykke saw the piece, she immediately recognized the gate.

Deceitful Beauty

"The night is nothing but an unresolved moment 

A time when ugliness seems to stop breathing 

The cloak of dark beauty immerses all for a few hours 

It slows down the delusion and the cruelty 

Hiding the truth at least until sunrise"

Ferns always remind me of home and growing up, playing at my grandmother's house with my siblings and my cousins.
