Blenheim Palace is a famous UNESCO World Heritage site, an exhibition space and a setting for many well known cinematic masterpieces. Not many people know that in the old days, Blenheim was a Royal Hunting Lodge for the Anglo-Saxon kings. Several years ago, it was found that some of the magnificent oak tress in Blenheim…

Stonehenge @EnglishHeritage by @Environment_Art
Stonehenge took several trips to explore. The sunset scenes required a VIP ticket, but the nighttime scenes were shot from a distance. The most iconic prehistoric site in Britain is actually a part of a much much larger complex, which also includes Avebury, Silbury Hill, West Kennet Long Barrow, Devil’s Den, Wayland’s Smithy and many…
DORSET @nationaltrust by @Environment_Art
Dorset coast never fails to amaze. The fascinating geological formations containing remnants of the world long gone are truly inspiring. This particular series was created on a very rainy afternoon in Harry Rocks. Exactly the type of weather to generate the unusual optical phenomena. After a turbulent rain, a ray of sunlight highlighted the water…
Devil’s Den by @Environment_Art
Britain is a real treasure-trove when it comes to prehistoric monuments. Devil’s Den is one example of this rich heritage. Forming part of the same mega complex with Avebury Stone Circle, Stonehenge, Silbury Hill and West Kennet Long Barrow, Devil’s Den is a powerful site full of energy, which is difficult to find and even…
PUZZLE WOOD by @Environment_Art
Another series that is part of ARCADIA comes from Puzzle Wood, an ancient pre-Roman iron ore mine on the border between England and Wales. Tolkien is said to have drawn lots of inspiration from Puzzle Wood designing his Middle Earth. No wonder George Lucas decided to film the Star Wars here. On the technical note,…
ECOSYSTEMS @OxUniMaths

Exhibiting @TheOtherArtFair
It is very nice when somebody comes to your exhibition. It is particularly nice when the interest is shown by the younger generation of viewers. They are not corrupted by the conventions of ‘good taste’ or art history and spontaneously express their excitement or curiosity when seeing a work of art. At the Other Art…
Birthday @The_Globe
First of all, thank you all for your wonderful birthday wishes, it is all very much appreciated. It was equally a delight to watch the Shakespeare’s Globe perform under the stars in the Oxford Bodleian Library quad, in the same way it was done in 1600s. Simply fabulous. The best birthday present one could wish…
ECOSYSTEMS II: CRITICAL REVIEW OF PRACTICE @formatfestival
My photographic practice evolved under the influence of critical theories of ecological economics, emphasized by thinkers as Hermann Daly, who was one of the first to offer an integrated economy-environment model (Daly, 1968) and wrote extensively on the subject of the differences of sustainability from pure economic growth and the dangers that the latter brings…
ECOSYSTEMS I: CRITICAL REVIEW OF PRACTICE
Nature is an invaluable gift that we are so bad at protecting and restoring. The authors of the ‘Limits to Growth’ report in 1972 (Meadows et al, 1972) have warned us that not dealing with just three important elements: namely availability of resources, pollution and population growth will lead us to a severe crisis….
Constructed Photography @MuseumModernArt
The idea of a constructed photograph is not something that I explored so far because I have been largely focusing on landscape and natural elements. However, I have practiced the transformed and transposed photography and infrared photography. Thus the photograph presented here depicts the iconic landscape of Colombian highlands with the strong diagonals of the…
Andre Derain @CentrePompidou
The grand exhibition of Andre Derain at Centre Pompidou in Paris is a landmark show the scale of which has not been seen since the 1994-1995 exhibition at the Musee d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Derain had a profound influence on me as a painter and is a constant source of inspiration for…
