The horse and the humans

2/27/2018

It seems to me that time has stopped somewhere long ago, in other times, where horses were free everywhere, since man failed to understand their wild beauty. And man though being their master.

My vision of them, their hypostases, they way I see them, the places I see them in, horses are free, embraced by a strange beauty and greatness, hard to see ... (Photos and text Stela Patrulescu)

The secret of a secret

All we know about her is that she can be (or inspire) multiple sights (vision objects).

Stela is collecting those appearances which go beyond a simple female portrait. The space, the light and the colours of the frames go hand by hand with the many different aspects of the protagonist, keeping hermetically sealed her secret.

If we would expect normally a series of photographs to enlighten us on a specific record of a reality, this present series does exactly the opposite … the more we look the less we know. (Photos by Stela Patrulescu)

The perfect, precarious balance of a picture

1/30/2017

In her quest for reaching the "inner and forbidden resources of art" Stela is presenting an extension of her portfolio.

It can be easily taken as an essay on the society surrounding her, but does it really matter?

Joggling from colour to B&W (or should we say Black on White) ... she is challenging the academic standards, only to state with her work that contradiction is the only way to resolve the visual urge a photographer is facing, with or without a camera!

What is?

The Bulb Collective consists of photographers active in urban (and rural) photography with an expressive shift to include highly aesthetic and poetic images in their assignments.

They share the same vision but not the same perspective which gives the necessary "polyphony" in their extremely ambitious endeavour to cover all the aspects of the Balkan neorealism.

Their visual signatures aspire to create iconic images and to be the best in metamorphosing and interpreting all aspects of life in this highly contradictory and fascinating part of the world.
