Vacation in Russia

From 27.07.09 till 15.08.09 I was on my Vaca­tion in Rus­sia. That was a really good expe­ri­ence. I had a lot of time to take pic­tures, a lot of time to explore Russ­ian cul­ture and peo­ple. I went with my girl­friend Olja http://laterre.deviantart.com/. We had a good time together, met...

New_ID___Bieszczady_by_KarezoidHello every­one :) It’s already late evening here and I’m sit­ting in a dark room lis­ten­ing for ambi­ent from Steve Roach. Damn he is good at it…By lis­ten­ing his music I get very inspired, and ready to do crazy designs or photo manip­u­la­tions. But, lis­ten­ing to his music and look­ing at Michal Karcz works at the same time is just mind-blowing tech­nique of inspi­rat­ing your­self :) That’s some kind of sym­bio­sis, where Steve’s music and dig­i­tal art of Michal work as an inspi­ra­tive com­pound :)

Today I’m going to show you some of Michal’s works, that I like the most and also tell you a bit about Michal Karcz :)

Those works that I show in my post are best in my opin­ion. Your opin­ion could be dif­fer­ent from mine, so def­i­nitely check the rest of his works, cause they’re awesome.

Michal Karcz aka. Kare­zoid was born in 1977 in War­saw, Poland. After grad­u­at­ing High school of art he began his jour­ney into the world of dig­i­tal and tra­di­tional art. At that time he was paint­ing more than pho­tograph­ing, and only a few years ago he left can­vas and paint­brushes replac­ing his biggest pas­sion by pho­tog­ra­phy. I don’t really know, and I nobody knows, if it was good or bad deci­sion, but He became one of the biggest and bright­est mod­ern dig­i­tal artists in the world.

It is hard to find any­one who have never heard of a per­son with nick­name Kare­zoid. Even among those who don’t devote their life to design or pho­tog­ra­phy. One of my friends, when I was telling him about cool pic­tures of Kare­zoid said: “aah…yeah, it’s that guy on deviantart, who makes cool land­scapes”. Well, that’s true, land­scapes are really amaz­ing and I always won­der where does he get so much inspi­ra­tion. After check­ing his home­page at www.michalkarcz.com I got to know, where he finds so much inspiration.

Well, first of all, the source of inspi­ra­tion is located some­where between his mind and his soul. I like, how he describes his art direc­tion: “Most of my work is the jour­ney to the places which don’t exist, places from my dreams, desire and imag­i­na­tion.” And while look­ing at his work you really feel an atmos­phere of some unreal world, that is maybe very far from you, but some­how you feel it.


Also, it won’t be a secret, that he also gets inspired from var­i­ous artists, as we all do. So, you never know, maybe even your works can inspire him.

And I can’t leave unno­ticed such an inter­est­ing fact. For those, who watch him on DeviantArt, this won’t be a news. Every work, that he does is also inspired by music of his favorite musi­cians. That is a rea­son, why I decided to add a youtube video of Steve Roach here in a post :) Just put it to play to build the right atmos­phere and enjoy awe­some works from Kare­zoid. If you want, you don’t have to scroll, just click on first pic­ture and click next, next, next and don’t for­get to put YouTube movie play­ing — it really adds a cool effect while watch­ing his works ;)

P.S. and sorry, that some of them have DeviantArt copy­right sign :)

P.P.S. If some­body is inter­ested, here is a link to a wall­pa­per made by Kare­zoid from one of his old works.

Very impres­sive work. The omi­nous clouds make for most excel­lent dark and moody images. Love it.

I just love his pho­tograph­ing tech­nique. It really inspires me for also tak­ing such a moody and crazy pho­tos. And I hope those pic­tures will inspire some­one else too :) That’s why I shared this article.
