ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Melancholia is one of my most prized images from the series of abandoned homes, 'Dulcis Domus', that documents abandoned villas, palaces and castles found across Europe. After the Second World War and the post-war economic fluctuations, they faded into obscurity with the dawn of the new age. A staggering number of them now stand abandoned and overgrown, often very difficult to reach. ‘Dulcis Domus’ was the winner of Moscow International Foto Awards, Tokyo International Foto Awards and ND Awards in the category 'Architecture-Interiors', and exhibited in Paris, Budapest, Moscow and Zagreb. Edition of 10. Your limited edition fine art print is produced with the utmost care and attention to detail on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm, a museum-quality matte archival paper. Made from 100% cotton rag, its weight and unique fibrous texture harken back to the handmade papers of the past. The unreflective matte surface allows the light to fall beautifully on the print every time, revealing its colour richness, vibrancy and sharpness. Your print will be carefully packaged and shipped in a mailing tube via a private courier service. Each print is signed, numbered and titled by the artist. It is delivered together with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Abandoned spaces dot the cityscape like blind spots, existing in temporal incongruities they themselves produce. Theirs is a different reality than our own. They are never truly dead, yet never really alive. Precariously treading along the border between life and death, decay and growth, the seen and the unseen, the past and the present, abandoned places confusingly encompass both at the same time, thus leaving the ordinary passer-by overwhelmed with both attraction and revulsion. An uncertainty of what to do, a discrepancy between the wish to look away and the unconscious desire to step into them. My images rely on a sense of scale, introspection and imagery of the mind. Photographing abandoned places is not merely a quest to document a society slowly losing its grandeur and its will to prosper and preserve. Nor is it about seeking grandeur in a collapsing structure. It is rather about provoking a certain get-up-and-go feeling. About reclaiming places deemed inaccessible and/or forbidden. About the deconstruction of everyday life.
