Abstract nominee

Through my photography, I explore the interplay of water, light, and reflection to transform ordinary scenes into abstract compositions. By capturing images beyond a flowing surface, I embrace distortion and fluidity, allowing water to act as both a lens and a brush. The result is a fusion of reality and abstraction, where familiar shapes dissolve into new, unpredictable forms. My work invites the viewer to see beyond the obvious, to engage with movement and imperfection as essential elements of beauty and perception.

Claudio Koporossy, a Swiss-Italian born in Lausanne, initially pursued engineering studies at ETH Zurich despite an early passion for fine art. At 15, a gift of a Nikon camera sparked a lifelong love for photography, becoming the central focus of his life.
For over a decade, Koporossy has immersed himself in the theme of water, exploring its diverse facets. His international exhibitions include "Dell'Acqua" in Rome (2018), "Acqua Russa" in St. Petersburg (2019), and "Alahambra" in Trento (2022), curated by Tahar Ben Jelloun. The pandemic led him to find solace in the Swiss mountains, inspiring exhibitions like "La Magnifica Ossessione" (2020) and "Invisibilia" (2021).
Recent exhibits include "Alma" in Palermo (2022), "Acqua di Rose" in Bologna (2022), and "Ripples & Reflections" in Las Vegas (2023). Koporossy's talent lies in capturing the essence of water, making him a notable figure in contemporary photography. His work transcends boundaries, offering a profound visual exploration of this elemental force.
