"Children Of Light"
DESCRIPTION
I was on a rather spiritual trip through the holy land, and I was overwhelmed with emotion throughout my journey. I wanted to embody that internal turmoil as a conceptual contrast; the feeling of loneliness in our vast world, yet how we as humans share it. A sense of creation, of a beginning that is tied to a sense of ending. Sony a7RII

AUTHOR
Gelman, born in Hungary and raised in Israel, relocated to New York City in 2016, wherehe continued his education in photography at ICP and the Pratt Institute. Originally a biochemist, he left science to pursue art- a language that allows him to navigate between the real and surreal.
The young artist fuses photography and digital painting, using image manipulation techniques to create unique dark and whimsical imagery. His technique enables visuals, previously only in his mind, to come together through dynamic postures and dark colors. Gelman aspires to tell an entire story with a single image.
