罗伯托·科伦坡 Roberto Colombo

对生命的流动予以解释,它们隐藏在万花筒般的情感中。
Almost a paraphrase of the flow of lives with their hidden energies in a kaleidoscope of emotions.

抽象摄影常被人认为,比油画低一等。我做出的调整就是要让人无法立刻分辨出是绘画还是摄影。因此我把它打印在油画布上。

Abstract photography often is still considered a minor Art compared to painting. My challenge is to propose images that you cannot immediately define as paint or photographs. For this reason I print them on canvas.

抽象摄影都是通过后期制作出来了的。我不这么做,我的作品都是没有经过处理的抽象图像。

Today many abstract photos are result of an important postproduction. I want to avoid it. My project is an attempt to abstract without manipulating images.

我是一名化学家,多年来,我一直在尝试不同的方法。将闪光灯或灯光打在金属结构上垂直拉伸的无色透明液体薄膜上,会产生色彩。液体薄膜由水、糖和增稠剂混合而成。我没有使用任何滤镜、颜料或颜色,也不在后期制作中使用任何人工效果。图片是相机传感器记录的显示。

Innovative technique. I am a chemist and for several years, I’ve been experimenting with different ways to do this. The colors are generated by the flash / lamp light across a colorless transparent liquid film stretched vertically on a metal structure. The liquid film is made by mixing water, sugar and thickener. I do not add any filters, pigments or colors and I do not use any artificial effects in post-production. Pictures are what the camera sensor records.

罗伯托·科伦坡曾学习化学和药学,70年代中期开始摄影,80年代因为家庭和工作的原因不得不放弃,到了2007年在前往以色列和美国旅行后,重新开始摄影。在他看来,摄影可以将因此在人类、社会和自然中美挖掘出来,也是一种讲述生活、情感、信仰和自我的方式,还是一种做实验的方式。《创意项目》这组作品就是它对抽象摄影的尝试,希望在其中回归图像的本质元素:光和色彩,让光和色彩激发情绪,甚至是想象的形状。多年来他的作品在超过25个国家展出,获得了多个奖项和提名。
I completed the classical studies, but at the end, I got degree in Chemical and Pharmaceutical sciences. Since adolescence, I engage myself in painting and music. In the middle of 70s, I discovered photography. In the 1980s, work and family reduced photographic activity almost to zero. I resumed photography in 2007 following a trip to Israel and USA. I think Photography is not only a search for beauty in the hidden folds of man, society and nature. It is a way of telling our life, our emotions, our beliefs and ourselves. It is experimentation also. My “Creative Projects” are an attempt at photographic abstraction. An attempt to return images to the essential factors: light and color as generators of emotions and, sometimes, imaginary shapes. Few years ago, I decided to get back bringing my works in national and international events, obtaining to be present with images, Awards and Honorable mentions in over 25 countries. As far as abstract is concerned I would like to underline the following results:
