Inspired by Pictorialism art movement. Was taken with an iPhone and processed there. Double exposure. As second “texture” layer I purposely used some surface (tree bark, snow-covered asphalt, frozen grass, stone slabs, etc.) right on/close to the shooting point. Thus, each photograph is, say so, a look "through the eyes" of a particular place to the snowed Dresden Old Town.

Bio
Self-taught. Living in Dresden, Germany. His artworks representing visual and emotional state of mind sustained by particular expressive language of representation, which stem from the notion of meta-modernist sensitivity and build on the abstracting and distorting the real world's motifs as well as antinomy between concrete and abstract to allow for thinking through associations.
