Honorable Mention / 2023 / Fine Art / Abstract

Polyphony of Dunescapes and Geometry

Sand dunes present endless variations of curves and textures. Basic geometric entities are supreme human abstractions, having neither contrasts nor textures. Both emanate balance and concord.

Superimposing dunes with translucent geometric entities establishes a new space and harmony is the core of this space. It is like moving from a single-voice tune to a polyphony where everything is aligned with harmony and accord.

The final image stimulates intimate associations and visual memories. It offers a refreshment of balance in mind and emotions, an escape from ever-present noise and chaos.

Marek and Magda have established a unique visual vocabulary by designing abstract artifacts. The duo creates and acts together as Boguszak, exhibiting and selling award-winning photography worldwide.

The pair created a body of work from their journeys in Death Valley and Abu Dhabi deserts. The Boguszak's sophisticated image processing highlights colorful shapes and pure lines with supreme harmony.

Boguszak have presented exhibitions at international venues in Zurich, Bern, Campione, London, Rome, Prague and New York.
