"Some of my photographs presented here undergo a specific hand-made digital manipulation which, apart from some straightforward color manipulations and tone filtering, does NOT involve any automatic digital filters. Such manipulation is a modern substitute for the combination of an old-fashioned classical dye-and-brush painting, as well as dark room photographic techniques. Hence the oil-painting mood and a characteristic, artificial contrast present at some of works exhibited here. Creating new illumination with this kind of retouch is, by the way, also another example of classical ‘painting with light’ techniques used by some photographers."
