Temples from grass I Pavel Baňka

About the work

From the series Divine Symmetries

In this latest series, Pavel Baňka's landscape work has achieved an unusual fusion of the artist's interest in two areas - natural motifs and landscape - and abstraction. Together with the desire to intervene in the process of image creation during exposure and post-production, the resulting works are based on axial symmetry, serving as a kind of unusual ticket to other worlds.
