Dreamlike Vortex with Orb #21 - Limited Edition of 1 Print

My name is Laurent, I'm 50 years old, born and raised in France. I went to college in the U.S,A., and I live today in the Principality of Andorra. Since the day I was able to hold a pen or a brush, I made some art. After trying pretty much everything possible during 45 years, today I settle on photography. I understand photography as reverse drawing or painting. Instead of starting from a blank canvas, then adding elements, a photographer has to eliminate elements until everything is in the right place within the frame. Fine Art and Street Photo are my main interests at the moment. The work I display on Saatchi Art is about dreamlike vortex populated with orbs. As a kid, do you remember staring at the small vortex created by water going down the drain in the bathtub? The images displayed in the portfolio are one of a kind. It was produced 100% in camera. No tweaking was done in post production, except adjustment to light and color. Also, each picture is a limited edition of one, making it a unique and valuable photography. Usually, photos are reproduced, but the Vortex collection will remain a ultra limited edition of 1/1. For the past 45 years, I experimented many different art forms, but representing vortex and portals to another dimension has always been an obsession. In a surrealist approach, I tried to recreate my dreams or nightmares. The camera enables me to create dreamlike vortex that run around my mind since I'm a child. Before, I was drawing, painting or sculpting them. There is a technical twist within the lens, in order to create these imaginary worlds I like so much. Photography is not an end in itself. I incorporate photography within the global artistic spectrum. Even if I made art since I'm a kid, I decided to present it to the world now. I never really shared anything before. It feels like I was practicing during 45 years, and finally I became brave enough to share publicly my work.
