Girls and whale sharks!

10/10/2013 by chicquero

Ashes to Dust!

10/03/2013 by chicquero

I am Dust + Time of War by Olivier Valsecchi (2009-2012) Inspired by Ovid’s definition of Chaos – a confused mass of liquid and fog, order and disorder, light and darkness – the “Dust” (2009) and “Time of War” (2012) series, part of the “I am dust” project, are about incarnation, resurrection, rebuild what was destroyed, struggling for life.

Dancers among us!

01/23/2013 by chicquero

“The inspiration for this book came to me one afternoon as I watched my son, Hudson, playing with his toy bus. I was trying to keep pace with his three-year-old mind as he got deeper and deeper into a fantasy involving nothing more than a yellow plastic box and armless figurines. At least that’s what I saw. He saw frantic commuters rushing to catch the 77 local bus to Australia. He jumped in place, mouth open and slapping his knees, joyously reacting to […]

Hyperphotos

11/14/2012 by chicquero

Jean-François Rauzier, French artist, born 1952. Fascinated by photography from an early age, Jean-François Rauzier graduated from the School Louis Lumière in 1976. He has since been working as a professional photographer, while developing a personal creative work. J.F Rauzier was immediately captivated by numerical photography when it penetrated the professional market 15 years ago.

Photo impressionism

11/07/2012 by chicquero

Josh Adamski has captured stunning images and turned them into works of fine art with his keen eye. He was born and raised in the UK and is now based in Israel. Much of Adamski’s work is focused around water as he lives near the beach and draws inspiration from the sea. After a photograph is taken, editing takes place to make the image more abstract and turn it into something even more powerful. The colors that Adamski brings out […]

Little Planets

05/27/2012 by chicquero

The works of american artist Josh Sommers carve out their context, somewhere along the boundaries of landscape photography, art, mathematics, and technology.  There’s a crispness to these photos, in that they appear to have been planned from the beginning instead of having an effect slapped on afterward. The stereographic projection, in geometry, is a particular mapping (function) that projects a sphere onto a plane. The projection is defined on the entire sphere, except at one point — the projection point. It is conformal, meaning that it preserves angles. It is neither isometric nor […]

The real “Happy Feet”

01/09/2012 by chicquero

Feet First “While sitting on Brighton beach (England) back in 2005 with my new girlfriend Verity I suddenly thought the view of our feet pointing out to sea would make a nice photo. Ever since then, we’ve continued to document our travels in this way, resulting in a collection of over 90 photos. In 2011 the series took a new twist with the arrival of a third set of feet – our daughter Matilda.” Feet First Project Tom Robinson, an […]

The artistic force behind a regional train which travel on a daily basis on the 14.3km Kishigawa line in Japan.

Priviet! Want some vodka? No, some russian art!

11/15/2011 by chicquero

Russian and very talented “photo artist” Oleg Dou is a multi award-winning based in Moscow. Because of his artistic family he faced art ever since he was a little kid. He got inspired by a book with Proto-Renaissance artists. With his photography he’s trying to show people in a not stereotypical way, he’s always been interested in human individuality and self-expression. His work reaches a point between oposities such as alive and dead, attractive and disturbing… It leaves no doubt […]

Dreaming in a pragmatic way.

11/15/2011 by chicquero

Dream Sequence Madame Peripetie aka Sylwana Zybura is a polish photographer based in Germany. The conceptual photographer is greatly influenced by Surrealism, Dadaism as well as the new wave era of the ’80s, British post punk scene and the avant-garde theater. I love her dreamy sequence, very out of this world. Sylwana explores the boundaries between fashion, photography and the human essence, experimenting through different colors, shapes and feelings. So peculiar, strange and beautiful, at the same time. Keep dreaming.. […]
