“I’ve read lots of comments, blog posts and forum topics about my photographs, whether I use photoshop or not, and should photoshop be used at all. It’s an honest question, but, as far as I’m concern, I had a goal to use photography as ‘prima materia’, a base, and through editing create a fusion of reality and vision.
I am not a photo reporter, so I don’t feel obligated to honour every detail. What I’m trying to achieve is to emphasize the whole potential of a shot, creating a sight that I’d like if existed.. And since it’s impossible in real life, I do it in virtual My work is maybe more similar to ‘photo-painting’ than photography.
Join me! After all, there is a reality of everything you imagine If you had recognised my work, than we share the same vision, and they are yours as much as they are mine!
It’s a harmless illusion – your personal, real life reality is only a click away…

Lego Art
Nathan Sawaya, a 36-year-old former lawyer has stunned the world with his incredible LEGO artworks.
If giving up a successful career in law that paid a six figure salary, to follow a childhood dream doesn’t spell passion, then I don’t know what does. That’s exactly what Nathan Sawaya did, but he managed to build himself another career brick by brick and now he sells his LEGO masterpieces for thousands of dollars.
Right now, Nathan has an inventory of 1.5 million LEGO bricks to use on his sculptures, at his New York studio and says his largest artwork was made up of about half-a-million bricks. His LEGO works are now as valuable as they are beautiful, selling for more than $10,000 each.

World in a Toilet Paper Roll
Anastassia Elias, from Paris France, is a full-time artist and illustrator and her preferred medium is paper collages and paintings. With a quirky canvas and steady hand, she created these fantastic scenes inside empty toilet paper rolls. With the right lighting these scenes burst to life; silhouettes in a land of cardboard.
Artwork on the Rocks
Beach walk with an impressive sunset, and… search for interesting stones and shells. To many of us painting rocks is pastime, but these are real art. Some of them are so realistic that it looks like socks and shoes you can put on, the camera can capture the sunset, and the formula you can ride, even on carpet. Very creative and accurate, a masterpiece work.
