Explore a collection of sweeping landscapes alongside smaller moments with details that show the journey is just as important as the destination.
This two-month gallery exhibition will highlight pieces from my Journeys and Destinations collections.
My work captures the transient beauty of landscapes in nature, each moment a unique and unrepeatable masterpiece. Armed with my trusty Nikon DSLR camera as my primary tool, I occasionally turn to the humble smartphone snapshot to gain fresh perspectives. When I transform these moments into art, I gravitate toward the vibrant, glossy papers and the tactile matte metal prints that breathe life back into these fleeting scenes.
Each artistic journey often begins with a pilgrimage to remote mountain destinations, where solitude offers respite from the daily grind and a chance to clear my mind. I yearn for these moments more frequently than I often indulge in them.
My intentions are usually set on capturing sweeping, large-format landscapes that mirror the serenity I find in these remote locations. Yet, as I traverse these landscapes, I'm drawn to the delicate details that often go unnoticed. The small pine tree tenaciously clinging to life in a rocky crevice or the vivid leaf resisting gravity on a crisp autumn day—these are the moments that capture my attention.
In this fast-paced world we live, these moments compel me to slow down and embrace the wisdom that life's true essence resides in the journey, not just the destination.
