The Highlight of the week: Birth by Maite Guerrero

“Water is pure. Water is oxygen. Mothers give birth in the water. The water soothes tears, while bringing joy. Water is pleasure, delight, emotion … holy water. There is nothing to equal the impact of water on us, the water gives us life. We are water.” - with such short and strong description Spanish photographer Maite Guerrero, based in Barcelona, presented her one of the most beautiful and original projects, called “Birth”. Water, as you probably already noticed that, is playing very important role here: it gives us life and creates thousands elements in it everyday. 

The Highlight of the Week: Nightscapes of Asia by Julia Wimmerlin

After being a marketing professional, photographer Julia Wimmerlin changed her focus on photography. By traveling around the world she visited the colorful and different Asia. As I asked her, what kind of experience did you get by visiting such large cities of Asia, Julia replied it is “very rewarding as the big cities of the new economies like Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore are changes and hardly can be found as the "old world”. She also added that “the density of the population is so high there, that the buildings look like a very dense forest offering what the photographer needs the most - interesting light to capture.” So here you guys, really great shots of night cities and those magical lights of night life. 

Highlight of the Week: Arkhai by Bianka Schumann

In Budapest, Hungary based photographer Bianka Schumann presented her new photo-project, called “Arkhai” as ‘intimate relationship of two child-grown, grown-child, a main secret book which tells their ordinary and extraordinary world in pictures and I could be a little part of it.’ Photographer explores the particular time of our lives then we are experiencing childhood and grown-up life at the same time. When we are living in two words, and get many questions. “The big questions of the life are being dissected. Is it indeed real that I am alive? The world, the Earth, the other planets and the whole solar system are really existing? And why got the chair the name of chair or the table the name of table?” - elaborates photographer in her project’s description. You can take a look at the whole project here. 

Weekly highlight: Superheroes by Andrei Nicolescu

Illustrator, architect, painter and graphic designer Andrei Nicolescu (who is also an artist on tumblr) has presented to us his great project called “Superheroes”. Romanian artist, based in Bucharest, showcased famous superheroes in a different way. The illustrations itself reminds me a little bit of cubism. I, honestly, think that it is a very nice way to illustrate something that has been illustrated sooo many times already. You can check out for more of his artworks here.
