Nudes nominee

A part of series I've made during last 4 years in so called "rock towns" i n Czech Republic. I wanted these photographs to show a kind of connection between body and stone; similarities and contrasts; softness and hardness; warmth and cold; sharpness and roundness; vitality and eternal stillness. The both penetrate each other, separate, create relations which can be interpret on different levels: as a reference to a human-human, human-nature or human-space relationship.

Jaroslaw Jarema, born in 1974. A photographer. He lives and works in Poland. He focuses on relations between the reality and a world being created, between the real and the fantasy. He tries to show the balance between these two elements. He believes in universality of symbols, which he treats as a basis of his message. His work reflects his deep interest in classical art: most of all painting, sculpture and poetry; he combines them with elements from the surrounding world. In his work he searches for relations between human and space. He works using traditional techniques. He took part in several individual and collective exhibitions in Poland, Germany, Italy, USA, Czech Republic, Canada.
