Michał Rawski
I am an artist photographer specializing in portrait, experimental and artistic photography.
I am also a graduate of the Krakow Artistic School - KSA where am I from.
When I grab my camera, my eyes blend with creativity.
Then my unspoken words turn into pictures.
For me, it is a safe, comfortable yet powerful form of communication.
Since my mid-teenage years, I have tried to look at things deeper, see everything from a different perspective and observe the nuance and details of my environment. This experience made everyday life more and more inspiring. I discovered the subtle beauty in the often monotonous foreground of daily routine and shocking events.
This is how my adventure with photography began.
For me, art photography is not only about photos. It is more like a form of artistic communication, a way to stop the rush of everyday life, consent to reflection. Sometimes the message is full of emotions, sometimes it is thought-provoking but also soothing. The biggest inspirations for me are the elements of the contemporary world on a micro-macro scale, the everyday life intertwined with surreal elements of imagination and direct experiences or thoughts from my private yard.
Despite the several photo exhibitions in Poland and Europe, the publications, there is still this thirsty desire to share more and connect with people. Ideas follow ideas…and that's the most beautiful thing about photography, the unlimited field of my creativity.
