Part of an ongoing series of urban portraits with a working title Faces of the city. Researching different aspects of urbanities reflected through intertwined images of humans and urban landscapes. Searching for the illusive identity of both humans and the metropolis. Technicaly, they are digital collages based on original photographs executed as a large format original digital UV prints on stretched canvas. 

Passion

… digital collage, larger body of work with a general theme of urban landscape. Original digital images are created by digitally collaging several photographs harvested in cities around the world. The resulting artwork represent artist (quite so often surreal) impression of urbanity while at the same time offering a level of recognisable details helping a viewer to re-place the final image into a real world, even though not all elements originate from the same place or time. In this series artist combines his own photographs with open sourced imagery from various sources, like deviantArt, Unsplash and several public libraries.

Metropolis

The exhibited digital graphics are structurally nearly identical, exploiting typical photographic aesthetic. This duality positive and negative forces the viewer to experience duality of the same image, which, however, triggers different emotional experiences, different feelings of the depth of the image, their rhythm, melody and counterpoint. Vertical thinly drawn lines direct fluid graphic flow  as in precisely drawn musical score such as one may find in contemporary music where musicians are exposed to personal interpretations of different art forms instead of musical score. Thus, it seems that the viewer's vision, when looking at these two graphics, is somehow visual-artistic, form-sounding, synesthetic, and they can be spontaneously indulged in by sight and hearing. On the other hand, the graphic field divided by lines of strict separation incorporates intersections represented by basic geometric shapes, a places where long distance communication takes place converting separation lines into a communication network.
