The inspiration for “The bluest blues” series was born on an evening when I was listening to Alvin Lee’s song, The Bluest Blues.

I love this song and the lyrics inspired me to the shots I have taken, to express my feelings and give the song a kind of visual lyrics.

As for the presentation, I used the “VT-Style” to implement and accentuate the mood, the blue hues for the masculine, the gold/copper tones for the preciousness, yet the treasure a man has when he loves a woman, the structure for the highs and lows in one’s life.

The nostalgic feeling is another element I have added, to accentuate that love is something which lasts forever, no matter what we love.

And for all that I have added flora as an element of life, the growing and developing life, with its delicateness and beauty when it starts and the maturity we achieve in our life.
It has to do with the stages in our life, with birth, growing up, love, sex and passing away… What else can describe the stages better as a floral element?

The series comprises 50 images, sized at 120 x 120 cm (4ft. x 4ft.) and it’s printed on special film which is applied to an aluminum plate. 12 of those images are available for online viewing, the other 38 only at my exhibitions.

Cheers & have a pleasant holiday season.
