EVOLVING DIMENSIONS SERIES BY SUNMAN 20“ X 30“ ON METAL
FON Art Director/ photographer Sunman creates dreamlike images by merging surrealism with digital art. Sunman was inspired to create surreal dreamlike art after his visit to The Dali Museum in Tampa, Florida. A talented photo manipulator and creative director, Sunman is growing his portfolio of conceptual photography that evokes mystery and wonder, and encourages the viewer to explore their imagination. The name of the series is “Evolving Dimensions.” It is a black and white series with some pop color highlights.
By merging majestic landscapes with human and animal subjects, Sunman’s images often try to connect mankind, space and nature. The “Snail Elephant” is the most popular work he has created. He received wide appreciation for it. In one photo, entitled “Solitude,” a woman is sitting by the rocky beach, and it is created from the manipulation of photos of Palm Beach and Sunman’s trip to Las Vegas.
