The journey in another world
For about four years I conduct an experiment based on the research of dynamic light, shapes and colors obtained through the refraction and diffraction of light passing through common domestic materials. Three years ago, I decided to get back to bring my work in national and international events, obtaining to be present with prints, Awards and Honorable mentions in over 20 countries.

entry description
This work is a project going on since 4 years, It is an attempt at photographic abstraction. To bring the images back to the essential factors; light and colour as generators of emotions and sometimes of imaginary shapes The shots are part of a dreamlike journey among colours and shapes constantly evolving. An escape to ANOTHER world to wander with eyes of a child in front of the rainbow. But often lifes, like dreams themselves, are transformed by clumping into stifling black liquid drops of fear. Torn apart, in the vortex of the nightmare we aspire to the light that soothes the soul. So, my brain runs runs runs .... I would like to stop it, Freeze the thoughts that flow like light signals along the network of nerve connections.. Capture them by crystallizing them around my neurons…… the above shots are made by the interference and the diffraction of light through very thin liquid film and by freezing oil drops.about the photographer
Born in '55, he discovered photography in the '70s. In the 1980s, work and family reduced photographic activity to almost zero. I resume it in 2007 in the US and Israel. I think Photography is not only a search for beauty in the hidden folds of man, society and nature. It is a way of telling our life, our emotions, our beliefs and ourselves. It is experimentation also. My "Creative Projects" are an attempt at photographic abstraction.
