Abstract nominee

The Dancing Lights series captures the energy, spontaneity and creative potential of artificial light. Each piece reflects the unpredictable and exciting nature of chasing and capturing light — from the smallest streaks to dynamic illuminations. My focus is on conveying the emotion of the moment rather than a specific message.

I paint with powerful LED lights accompanied by electronic dance music (EDM), which provides rhythm and character to the light beams. By experimenting with exposure times I explore the expressive possibilities of artificial light, creating abstract results that offer total freedom and spontaneity.

While light painting is a long-standing photographic technique, I have taken it further by combining it with other photography techniques. I recorded the tracers as they twisted and intertwined like strands of light weaving through sound. A final touch in post-production amplified each hue and bent the pixels to their limits, creating compositions that feel bold yet harmonious.

The luminous light paintings resonate with rhythm, blending the precision of movement with the accelerating and uplifting sounds of EDM. They invite the viewer to experience the energy, feel the pulse and be swept away by the rising momentum of light and sound.

I am a Fine Art Photographer creating contemporary works that blur the line between photography and painting. My images often transform real subjects into abstract and conceptual compositions that challenge perception and evoke emotion. Disruption is essential to my creative process. Each piece moves beyond traditional photography by deliberately breaking its foundational rules and conventions. I use and mix a range of techniques, both behind the camera such as light painting and macro photography just to mention a few and in post-production through diverse and often surreal editing methods. Photographic pixels are manipulated like pigments or clay, used as tools much like a painter uses brushes, spatulas or oil colors to achieve a tactile, painterly presence. Sometimes the images are subtly enhanced to clarify the message or to suggest a broader narrative. They may capture motion, highlight playful contrasts or explore visual paradoxes pushing the work beyond the expected boundaries of photographic art. Through these visual transformations my work aligns with contemporary pictorialism, expressing emotion through light, texture and form instead of direct representation. Whether displayed on physical walls or in the digital realm these artworks are meant to captivate and inspire, revealing something new with every gaze.
