Abstraction in Photography International Art Exhibition | PATRÍCIA ABREU

These images belong to the series: “MARE — Motion Action Randomly Embraced” ( ICM Photography ); “Night’s Calligraphy” ( Night Photography ); “Time Capsules”, “Singularity” and “Caustic Lines” ( both Macro Photography).
Macro Photography is always present in my work. Its capability to crop and highlight tiny delicately overlooked elements fascinates me. It allows me a very personal imagery investigation where the construction of the narrative in images can corrupt certain truths, transforming small details into a new reality of expanded proportions.
By recording the magical lines traced by light, I attempt to create intricate connections between the visible and invisible in the natural and artificial worlds. Thus capturing impressions of movement in a state of inertia. Always driven by an interest in the mysteries shaped by the light that passes through visible surfaces, enveloping what we see and blurring what we imagine, in metaphorical approaches that can eventually lead to the abstraction of the image.

I am a Brazilian visual artist, who tends to mix multiple techniques when creating my work. With a degree in Graphic Design, I use photography and digital art as means of expression to enrich my visual interests and better communicate ideas through my images. Photography allows me to see, through the lens, a world without boundaries that lies within us.
Themes about Time, Memory and the Natural World are constant presences in my work.
The construction of images captured photographically, as instruments of visualization of imprecise worlds to our naked eyes. Both for the light that passes through the lenses that deform and magnify, and for the unconventional investigation of the chosen subject. All the imprecise questions and subtle answers faced on this journey, leave me more than fascinated by contemporary photographic practice and the future of image-making.
Since 2021, I have participated in several curated group exhibitions and publications such as Collect Art, ARTDOC Magazine, LoosenArt Gallery, Al-Tiba9 Magazine, Teravarna Gallery, Make Art Gallery, M.A.D.S. Gallery, Galeria Azur Berlin, Al-Tiba9 Gallery, PH21 Gallery, FotoNostrum Gallery Barcelona and others.
