About Dr Martín Raskovsky

 
 
  • Biography
    I concentrate on photographic post processing, very creative, close to painting and drawing where imagination and dreams become part of the canvas.

    It is extremely rewarding, an active creative search process, looking for colours and forms that emanate from my inside, often completely unrelated to the original subject. Brush in hand, the journey of image transformation is an art form of its own. Colours and shapes are transformed again and again until the time when a solution emerges, sometimes with a tremendous eureka effect; almost orgasmic. The journey from photographic camera to canvas, my creative journey.

    -------------------------

    Dr. Raskovsky's creative genius is in fact an outstanding innovation to photographic art: after centuries of technical and technological evolution, the progress of the optical instrument that revolutionised our lives seems to deserve a new dimension. Impressionist painters accelerated the gesture of their brush strokes in order to capture the ephemeral and immediate nuances of light, while Dr. Raskovsky carries out the process in reverse: he already owns reality and, with a unique and refined vision, he transforms photography into post-impressionistic masterpieces. Flowing waves and sinuous lines create a sense of movement that vibrates all the nuances of a wild and rampant nature. Dr. Raskovsky's rich imagination is able to relieve the viewer from the dominant and accepted norms of photographic art and, as a consequence, he opens our minds.
     
    Dr. Raskovsky is an exceptionally talented artist and photographer, with a forceful drive that erupts through all of his creations. This artist radiates beauty and has been gifted with the ability to translate emotions through a unique language of expressive art.

    Expressive and captivating creations, the viewer is stimulated by a strong sense of movement, innate harmony and intense mystery that forces one to pause, observe and reflect. The spectator will take time to explore the rich, complex albeit exquisitely graceful compositions with a sense of enjoyable curiosity. The enthralling flows and meanders of energy soon begin to penetrate the mind of the admirer as the elements start to blend with the surreal aura of the backgrounds. Finally, one slowly perceives the authentic source of the final artwork: a perfect photograph.

    Martin’s current interest is in the post capture creative process. It is a search for colours, forms and hidden visions often completely unrelated to the original subject. Brush in hand, the journey of image transformation is an art form of its own. Colours and shapes are transformed again and again until the time when a solution emerges.

    Event: Art In Mind - Revisited

    Dates: 24 May 2016 - 29 May 2016

    Venue: The Brick Lane Gallery, London, UK

    Raskovsky has had photography in his heart and a camera in front of his eyes since early childhood. Initially ‘painting’ with light while developing black and white prints in a dark room he built in the attic of his home. As time went on, he discovered digital photography and in turn digital manipulation. For Raskovsky it opened up a universe far richer than the analogue processes and allowed his imagination and dreams to become liberated. Raskovsky is particularly interested in the post capture, creative process. It is a search for colours and forms that emanate from inside the artist, of which they are often completely unrelated to the original subject. Brush in hand, the journey of image transformation is an art form of its own. Colours and shapes are transformed again and again until the time when a solution emerges, sometimes with a tremendous eureka effect; almost orgasmic. The journey from photographic camera to canvas, his creative journey.

    Event: Landscape; Rural v/s Urban

    Dates: 4 Feb 2016 - 14 Mar 2016

    Venue: The Brick Lane Gallery, 196 Brick Lane, London E1 6SA

    Since early childhood, photography has been in my heart. Until now I have refused to publish my photography, so this is the first time I come out to an art gallery.

    In doing so, I have chosen my recent work in nature where the digital post processing brings the image closer to an oiled brush. My interest in this case being in the post capture creative process.
