ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Original Artwork (Limited Edition): The motif is printed on Hahnemühle fine art baryta 325g paper, motif size 20 x 30 cm, white border 5 cm, outer size 30 x 40 cm, signed and artist stamp on the back. Hanover’s Osterstraße multi-storey car park, a testament to Brutalist architecture, stands as a rhythmic sculpture of concrete and space. You don't see balconies, but parking bays. In the heart of Hanover, a car park rises, a structure of compelling contradiction. Built in the Brutalist style, its concrete form is both fortress and canvas, where light plays across its bold, angular projections. Architect Heinz Wilke’s vision from 1974 transforms the utilitarian into the aesthetic, creating a dance of shadow and form that defies its mundane function. It is a place where cars come to rest, yet the imagination is set in motion, contemplating the stark beauty of repetition and raw materiality.

Multi Award Winning Artist, Photographer & Photojournalist NGUYENSminiaturen All motifs can be ordered as open end prints in a variety of sizes and frame options. Beyond his photography, Nguyen has made significant contributions to the photography community. He is the co-founder of the online photography and art magazine Tagree, where he served as editor-in-chief for many years. Nguyen loves the poetry of the everyday and social life. Described as a “photographic poet” by ArchEyes Magazine, Nguyen’s work focuses on the seemingly ordinary aspects of life. His lens captures small, unnoticed details and infuses them with new meaning. ArchEyes notes, “Michael sees the world through a third eye, capturing the essence of life in every shot,” emphasizing his ability to turn the invisible into something worthy of admiration. Nguyen has been called “publicity-shy” by Merkur, a daily Munich newspaper, but his work speaks volumes. Moving away from mainstream trends, his photography crosses and blurs genres, focusing on life’s poetic, everyday moments. As the Süddeutsche Zeitung points out, “Most of the photos could only be taken because Nguyen has a special eye for his surroundings and gives even the mundane a second view.” Nguyen’s architectural photography, in particular, draws attention to the intricacies of urban landscapes and buildings. He explains his approach: “With my architectural photography, I search for the aesthetic qualities of buildings and their urban spatial effect. I aim to give a new soul to the appearance of buildings through love, enthusiasm, and desire.” He emphasizes that his work is not about producing marketable images for architectural firms but about interpreting reality in a subjective, situational manner. Nguyen’s unique perspective on life and architecture, along with his commitment to elevating the ordinary, makes his work both timeless and deeply thought-provoking. Some of Nguyen’s work falls under the category of hyperrealism. He utilizes color, contrast, and sharpness to accentuate architectural elements often overlooked in daily life. By intensifying these features, Nguyen creates a heightened version of reality, drawing attention to the beauty of architectural spaces and forms that might otherwise go unnoticed. One of Nguyen’s most significant ongoing projects is the By The Roadside series, which features architectural street photographs from various European countries.
