Printed with 2.5cm white border. Giclée print on Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta paper. Signed Certificate of Authenticity included. The second image created for My Dark Sister series is shot in a picturesque derelict complex surrounded by woodland in Malls, UK. The theme of an encounter and interaction of the enigmatic female character with with an even more enigmatic faceless figure radiating darkness from the veil of the black hair surrounding her would-be face (or, as in this particular image a mourning lace veil) The dark figure seem to be some sort of a guide, the connection between two seems to suggest some mysterious affinity. The inspiration came from both the subtle intermittent, unaccountable feeling of this presence throughout the years, as the equally elusive but deep rooted feeling of how our dimension may? can? does? intersect with this what either is or, may be, beyond the perception of our five senses. The setting is a little old cemetery not far from where I live. As in nearly all of my pictures I have chosen Victorian outfits with a modern gothic twist (from my own wardrobe) which makes the characters somehow timeless, unearthly, detached leaving room for both interpretation and personal identification.

I am drawn to themes of darkness, mystery, isolation, examining the boundary between our world and and the subtle possibility of another; how they may intersect, interact... I have found, artistically manipulated fine art photography to be the perfect medium for me to express it. In a way, I find myself more akin to painter then purely a photographer. The idea, the composition, framing lighting, camera settings is only the beginning of the process. It is mainly during editing stage that I feel deeply fulfilled as an artist. Current possibilities of editing software blurs the line between digital and real life brush strokes. Both are done manually and this, alongside with other editing components, is what makes me feel I am putting a personal signature on, not so much a photograph, but an artwork. Posing for most of my pictures gives me the feeling of fully owning the process however, this is aimed not at a self portraiture but creating a character which will carry the narrative of my visual story. Victorian costumes with a modern gothic twist help to make the character come across timeless, nearly ghost-like, further remove it from any notion of participating directly in our reality. In my work, I thrive on melancholy which connects us with something deeper inside us and creates a aesthetic value which transcendences its mundane, purely psychological dimension. As Italio Calvino put it "melancholy is the sadness which has taken on lightness"
