“A click of the camera shutter can’t really replicate the feeling of being there, therefore as an artist, I use a camera, a computer and my imagination to go beyond simple documentation to translate the feeling of the moment as best I can. I experience immense joy in creating a unique piece of art from a unique moment in time. I feel the beauty of nature connects with us all on a spiritual level. It’s that beauty that inspires me to create these works of art to promote joy and peace, either for a brief moment on your screen, or a lifetime in your living space.”
– Rafael Calderon
Artist Statement on featured photo:
“Painterly edit of the original image. Captured on a June, yes June morning. A bucket list shot for me no doubt. This was the first shot I took. After 2.5 hours of shooting, waiting and hoping the clouds would clear a little more the first shot ended up being the best one.”
