The collection entitled Light Nursery-Concrete Line investigates a brutalist approach of a sincere, almost impressionist photography.

The Light Nursery is a collection of photographs of clouds, no manipulation, no intervention, just witnessing a natural phenomenon that obscures and hides the light until we as individuals decide what to do with it. As a species we might be dreaming of the transcendence of the human condition, but always finding a wall or a curtain, a space of in-betweens. 

The Concrete Lines are obscured horizon lines, abandoned buildings, factories or non-spaces that witnessed the separation of worlds. Above that, in this utopical metaphor there is no ‘below’, it is not organic, but more of a man made self imprisonment of illusions and manipulation.

Concrete walls were everywhere when we were growing up. Communism was the great inventor in the usage of concrete, cement, sometimes as a word-play that became a reality in this region of Europe, a concrete cemetery. These are lines of horizons, the lines of resilience and freedom, as grey is just a multitude of shades between light and darkness. Beauty is touching itself. A photograph in black-and white with a classical composition, simplicity at an impressionist level abolishes any artificial presence or manipulation. Candid photography that depicts a lip like cloud formation, that by the photography texture, gives a sensual visual touch of desire and hope.
