Gelatin silver prints |
Fine art photographic Series
I initially launched my art career specializing in photography, including traditional gelatin silver prints and toning. These are earlier work than my painting series (Please visit the each series description). They became vintage prints. Limited edition. Some are unique.
I developed the black and white films, and printed in the darkroom. It is pretty intense process. At the same time, it was like healing a process for our soul.
The FAUSTUS (2006-2010) project became a turning point for my art. From sole photography to have evolved to painting — when I had a problems on my hand and eventually lost my right pinkie due to the extremely rare medical condition on hand.
“I am an observer. I am a witness of these landscapes and events such as night festivals around the world. However, my photography never just be scenery but reflects the concept and soul. Something more within, something more than what’s visible.” – Misako OBA
