Unreal Reality - New York City

In this series, celebrating urban landscapes, I reconstruct these subjects captured through my lens and use the Fibonacci sequence to aesthetically guide the coloration, patterns and compositions of my artwork, combining my scientific and artistic backgrounds. In these works, an original photograph shot on location is digitally blended with elements taken from the edges of the frame to create a repeating, expanded landscape. By utilizing the Fibonacci-based sequence of numbers, I produce aesthetically pleasing patterns that build on and reimagine the original image. I describe this work as exploratory, whimsical, and surreal. My approach is influenced by works of contemporary architectural-surrealist photographers such as Victor Enrich, Filip Dujardin, and Xavier Delory, and geometrical interplay depicted in works of modern abstract expressionist painters such as Miro, Mondrian, and Kandinsky. The project is a subjective approach to photography favoring perception over seeing. It is meant to re-invent the viewers' relationship with the reality of the world around them. The deviation from the norm of realism is emphasized by these large-scale artworks, depicting urban landscapes containing spaces with vast perspectives where buildings soar above the human scale and architectural elements unique to each location produce one of a kind geometric pattern. What drives me as an artist to produce these artworks is the exploratory nature of the process itself. The journey from initial scouting and the discovery of an ordinary location that could be considered mundane to crafting a whole new surreal urban landscape, re-constructed entirely from the elements confined within the original frame.
