In a wink of an eye, in one of my uncool hours I just decided to put up this feature in my blog, "The Artist of the Month." Interestingly, this could urge me to constantly blog at least once a month and maybe soon thereafter I will add other monthly features so as not to be downtrodden by my inactivity and idleness. This feature will showcase artists that I find extraordinary in their contribution to the field of Visual Arts.
So..., first up is, ANDRZEJ DRAGAN.
I was completely stunned and humbled the first time I saw his work in Digital Camera Magazine. It was like..., hey, this is something that I cannot do. Until of course I saw some Photoshop tips to "Draganize" a photo. But still, his images are the stuffs that take you aback and make you admire their intriguing beauty and subject. Although, I don't freaking know how to exactly pronounce his good name, at first it sounded like he's an old veteran photographer the likes of Elliot Herwitt and James Nachtwey, until I found out he's just in his early thirties. This man is a genius..., he graduated cum laude in his Phd in Quantum Physics, winner of various international music composing competitions and one of a kind artist/photographer. Geez... he is an epitome of a Renaissance man.
Here are some of his compelling images and the link to his site.
