Visual art delves into the depths of the human experience. It operates as a language, complex yet intriguingly simple, requiring full immersion to master. There are no prerequisites except for the willingness to openly gaze upon seemingly peculiar things that irresistibly beckon you to engage with them. It is through this engagement that one can find themselves transformed, gaining a fresh perspective on the world.
In my exploration, I’ve chosen three artists who possess a unique vision of the world, opening gateways to poetic realities through their art: David Hockney, Olafur Eliasson, and Caspar David Friedrich.

Art has been a continuous journey for me, as both a creator and an appreciator. I will delve into the allure of this journey and highlight three artists who have profoundly influenced my perspective on art, the world, and life: Rafael Sanzio, Kazimir Malevich, and Andrey Tarkovsky.

I invite you to contemplate the captivating illusion of "realities" depicted on canvas and explore how ideas evolve into interconnected series of works, serving as markers of the past and inspiration for the future. I'll introduce three admired painters: Caroline Walker, who transforms us into voyeurs through her cinematic depictions of contemporary interiors; Peter Doig, known for his still and layered landscapes, blending personal and historical references; and Laura Owens, whose daring, experimental art challenges conventional notions of figurative and abstract art.

In this era often hailed as the "century of women," we will encounter lesser-known artist-anatomists from the past who left a lasting impression on their contemporaries due to their innovative approaches. For instance, Anna Morandi Manzolini, who skillfully combined the arts of dissection and wax modelling; Marguerite Bihéron, a pioneer in providing sexual education to women in Paris; and Angélique du Coudray, an Enlightenment-era midwife possessing sculptor-like talents, whose textile mannequins effectively trained generations of midwives.

At times, I find myself inclined to assert that sculpture remained untouched by the passage of millennia, be it during the eras of prehistoric or Egyptian art, or throughout the centuries preceding and succeeding the Renaissance. It appears that during these periods, sculpture found its fullest expression, even when confined to a select range of traditional materials and their corresponding techniques and methodologies. It is tempting to speculate that these very constraints acted as catalysts for creativity and novelty, ultimately paving the way for remarkable feats of craftsmanship that almost approached the realm of the superhuman.

Since I don't follow a set path or employ an intricate script when capturing a photo, I view myself more as an observer equipped with the tools to authentically capture specific moments. These moments possess their unique essence and emotional depth, remaining untouched by my influence. Photography, to me, serves as a means to immortalize essential moments that often escape our notice due to the visual monotony that often obscures our perception.
