About The Artwork

Last Chance #10 Last Chance consists of a series of images that attempt to visually interpret, in a minimal and abstract way, the current environmental changes that are negatively affecting the landscape and future of our planet. My inspiration came from a combination of photos I took at an impressive metal installation at an old mine site in Belgium, and from a series of pine trees I shot in Italy. To add texture in this work, I implemented acrylic brush strokes, which I first painted on a canvas surface. I completed the images by adding parts of recent newspaper articles, the articles referring to global warming and climate change. The photographic images of the pine trees, fundamentally symbols of longevity, fertility and hope, serve as the means to interpret the life and longevity of our environment and of our planet. The images of the metal structures are an attempt to represent the expansive human construction that is suffocating our environment, partly due to deforestation and overpopulation. These human activities, together with the overconsumption and overexploitation of natural resources, are causing damage to the environment. Global warming, ozone depletion, toxic spills, unusual flashes of floods, acid rain, pollution of the soil, the sea and the air, are some of the many adverse consequences affecting our planet. Some such consequences I have attempted to depict in this body of work. Understanding the impacts of these changes is critical for evaluating the true complications that climate change is causing to our environment. This may be our Last Chance to make the right choices about energy production and consumption. Our Last Chance to take the urgent steps needed in order to save our planet. +++ Each print is numbered and signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

As a photographer, Despina Zaimis is looking to reframe the familiar and to give new meaning to the subject she is photographing through her creative process. Especially when traveling, inspiration will come from the excitement of discovering a new place that will trigger an idea and lead to a new series of photos. While taking photos makes her feel connected to the world, editing her images becomes a process of connecting to her inner self. She is drawn into post-processing her images by experimenting with different editing styles, colours, textures and tones, depending on the theme she has chosen to work on. Fascinated by the way the process of editing can intensify and transform her photos into completely new images, her aim is to evoke the beauty, vibrance and mystery of life, as she sees and perceives it through her creative process. +++ Her studies in art and graphic design and her life in different parts of the world gradually lead her path towards photography. Living in Japan for a few years was the experience that triggered her love for this art form and inspired her to start capturing the places and people she came across. Her images at times become more abstract and minimalistic, while at other times, they are full of colour and vibrancy, depending on the theme she is working on and the final image she has envisioned to create. +++ Her photos are produced and sold in numbered limited edition prints on the highest quality archival papers with the use of the latest printing technology. Every artwork is signed and numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity. +++ Despina Masouridi Zaimis was born and raised in Greece. She has lived in London, Madrid, Washington DC, Tokyo and currently lives in Brussels.
