2023

Now it's time to lay out the pure blue colour and elevate minimalism through human imagination.

It is still photography.

As an architect, I am passionate about composition, graphics, clear lines, shapes, and the balance of elements. I am into how it affects human emotions, especially if I can achieve this through minimalism.

"Sophisticated means, minimalistic result."

While I spend most of my time at a computer for my regular job, making architectural graphics and visualisations, photography is exceptional. It is my unique therapy: go outside and explore, forget your computer and try to achieve the maximum result with minimum modern technology power. Using only my imagination and architectural intelligence skills, I discover what people don't see daily. I frame the environment to create new means and show that the human brain is still powerful.

My original collection, "Why Is The Sky Blue" is the quintessence of curiosity about the world around us, even in the familiar environment and boring things we see daily. The "Rules of Parallels" collection is another example of how architects see reality translated into the language of architecture. Now, my most minimal collection, "Supreme Blue," combines the genes of both collections: it is still a curious clear blue sky, and it is still clear architectural language.

After creating dozens of photos with compositions I like, I spend a lot of energy building a concept deeply connected with a couple or several arts. I need artwork that is good enough independently (I have many works ready to mint), but I also love to build a concept relationship between the art. My rules of composition, graphical balance, colours, and emotion wrapping are all scaling up to the whole collection. Put several works together, add value, or create new means.

I have been building the Supreme Blue collection for over half a year, including several weeks only for the naming part. I looked inside my photo archive again and again, tried to connect some works, refused them, and started again. It is the time when the quality of a collection is growing. I only finished when I strongly felt the whole picture of the concept. The system is built and wrapped up by words.

Naming is a crucial part of it. A title should not only mean what I would like to highlight but should sound like a part of the art and visually look like an inseparable collection element. Look inside the naming of Supreme Blue art, for example. Can you feel the relationship and cross-connection between? My main aim is to touch people by underlining implications and showing them what I see when I watch the art intensely.

The collection is also quite a reaction to AI image dominance. While I am okay with it, I wanted to know if the human brain can create something so complicated to explain in words that AI would struggle to make the results you need. Can I create something minimal but precise that strongly affects the human brain? Maybe minimalism is the last defence line AI would break?
