I Painted With Light Brancusi Sculptures

My Brancusi Visions gather a series of photography artworks made in a special technique – light painting.

Light drawing is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking long exposure photos.

The light art is executed in a single shot, and these cool photos are not digital compositions made in Photoshop.

What I did is I photographed an empty room, in the dark, with long exposure. From a technical standpoint, everything that’s seen in these beautiful photos is the footprints left by different light sources or different modifiers of light.

From a conceptual standpoint, beyond the original works carved in wood, stone or metal, my “visions” of Brancusi works reinterpreted in color, light, and energy are some famous works of the great sculptor: A muse, Beginning of world, Bird in space, Chairs alee, Kings of kings, Prometheus, Princess x, Sleeping muse, The gate of the kiss, The fish, The infinity column, The kiss, The table of silence, Torso of a young girl and Torso of a young man.

Why Brancusi?

Because Constantin Brancusi is considered a pioneer of modernism, one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th-century, because he is one of my favorites artists, because he is a Romanian born artist and because in 2016 we celebrated 140 years since his birth.

It is my way to pay homage to the works of Constantin Brancusi.
