SOPHISTICATED SIMPLICITY
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” said Leonardo Da Vinci. «Sophisticated simplicity» is a photography series focusing on the harmony of geometry and composition.
Minimal urbanism is the word: shapes, colours and lines are rationalised to the point that they do not seem to belong to this world anymore. By making an over-simplified photograph, i aim to awake an emotional response by producing a unique visual experience. Elements and composition are to be kept at a minimum — it is not the photographer but the viewer’s task to expose the project’s goal.
«Sophisticated simplicity» is a visual research wanting to expose and reflect on how many redundancies surround us and how they can be handled differently. “Less is more,” and in this case, fewer compositing layers means more accessing doors to a universal meaning.
