luminous blossoms I Photograph by Tamme M

Art to me is comparable to the big Mystery of Love - it is both a form of Freedom and Hope. It is also the expression of the human being and as such it is subject of the duality of our existence. Thus, it cannot avoid illustrating opposites, as it does in everything that it illustrates: No Beauty without Ugliness, no Light without Shadow, no Desire without Fear. Artistically I try to approach these poles through multiple perspectives. That's why in my images you can often find more than one vision of an object. I like to use supporting technologies such as multiple lenses or infrared film, which push the viewer to a different view than the usual perspective. Tamme is a visual artist from Northern Germany. After completing his degree in Art and working as a photographer for several years, he is currently focusing on the artistic articulation of his inner world and his view on the world. As a freemason he believes that every individual is able to improve himself as a human being in order to build a better world through this work on the individual. This is the reason why, despite his awareness of the duality of our existence, he always attempts to first present a positive view of the objects and motives. As a nature lover and frequent traveler, Tamme finds many of his objects and motives in nature or in everyday life. To share the resulting images with his community, he founded Gratus Art (https://gratus.art) ( gratus [lat]: grateful, thankful)
