I love the harmony of sand dunes created by Newton's laws of physics. When I make light float upon the harmonious lines of the dunes, a colorful stream of light transforms Newton’s ‘B&W’ laws into a new animate concept: a new space of colorful combinations and strong emotions ..., human abstractions develop on the inanimate mathematical abstraction.
Hypnotic scents of deep woods in summer, cooling shadows, glimmering sunbeams passing through dense canopy. Silence, serenity and inner peace, disturbed only by awaiting for elfs to come, dance and sing.

Marek Boguszak is a Prague-based photographer whose work transforms desert landscapes into perceptual abstractions. He reconstructs landscape through shifts in color, light, orientation, and form, gradually moving the image between photography and abstraction. By transforming chromatic topologies, he creates visually unstable spaces that resist fixed interpretation. Marek has presented solo exhibitions at international venues in Zurich (CH), Bern (CH), Barcelona (ESP), Campione (IT), London (UK), Prague (CZ).
