Happy to share with you that I now have some posters available to purchase on my online store. Along with evergreen Fine Art & Photographic prints, merchandise and education, now you have fill your walls with some badass posters too!
Here are the first two - two photo series that have been very popular among clients and viewers and so I decided to offer a complete look in a way of a poster.
Let me know if you have any special requests from other collections or series.
I’m so honoured to be invited to the podcast The Soul Filler by Dr. Rali Gerog where we talk about self-love, body image and art photography.
It was a lovely summer day and I welcomed her in my studio in Poblenou. Here is the full interview - it’s packed with truth, art and real life examples.
Let me know if anything has resonated with you.
Finally I can share that the giveaway I offered for Mother’s Day has finally been received. It took some time due to difficulties in arranging schedules, but I’m happy the lovely mother of two Sonya has received her 30x40cm photographic print after her photoshoot with me.
The goal of the shoot was something she was looking for - a portrait of beautiful, strong, independent woman, who knows what she deserves. From all the photographs, she chose this one and required to be in black and white. And so, here is the result…
and a little behind the scenes when preparing the print..
It’s a true honour to see people opening up in front of my camera and allowing me inside their personal space. It’s a honour to feel their trust in the process. And the happy faces from the results are just adding up to the whole miracle.
Thank you Sonya! 🌹
Through art history the human form has been a subject of investigation, an inspiring form and a way to record the current movement in history. From Greek mythology, through Baroque, New-Classicism and Renaissance, the human form has been an object of investigation, admiration and source of inspiration for the current artists to present day.
My admiration towards the human form has slowly changed my point of view and has become a main inspiration to my work. There was something in it that I’ve always been drawn to, not necessarily understanding why.
In our current age, the body has become an object, often considered inappropriate by its looks or draft that needs fixing. The aim for over perfectionism in our modern times has become an example for generations and an ideal to be aimed. The hyped commercialisation and over exaggerated standard of public figures turned the natural beauty of body differences into to be one of the copy.
It’s is great to have access to software and advanced medicine to be used when necessary, but we lost the idea of how real bodies actually look. We ignore the perfect imperfection of the way Nature works and create. We aim to filter, retouch and adjust everything we can in order to look and feel like somebody else, while missing the main point - we’re all different, we’re all deserving, we’re all beautiful in out own unique way.
Sometimes is hard to fight the ego, to make it understand that what it sees is not what is best. To stop it to aim for something that will cause damage and distraction in the long term. To make it understand what the soul is seeing…
But also this is part of our current reality - to gain control over ourselves, what we consume and how much energy we spent on it. to understand first for ourselves who we truly are, what we are and where we want to go next.
With all the noice, AI and retouch at every corner, looking, accepting and understanding what our body actually is has never been more needed. As this is where each of us lives - inside the given body, the only one we will have in this life and the one we need to make most peace with, instead of fighting it in every step of the way.
