100 [HUNDRED] Best Selected 2022 VOL. 03

[HUNDRED] Best Selected Vol. 03 presents the work of a hundred unique artists. It is a celebration of multiple perspectives and media, all of them unified by a common drive to explore and create.

When curating this volume, Photographize looked for those who inspire us, touch our hearts, stimulate our imagination, and show us new faces and places, real and imaginary. From legendary figures to emerging luminaries. This book was envisioned as a megaphone that will amplify the multitude of voices of these amazing creators and connect them to the world. It is a panorama of some of the most exciting artists of the moment and a window into the future.

As you dive into the pages of this book, we hope you share our awe and admiration. Art is joy, imagination and feelings. It is the world reflected in the mirror of our souls. Art is life. [HUNDRED] Best Selected Vol. 03 is a tribute to both.

Pejac is a Spanish painter originally from Cantabria, Spain. The artist has become incredibly well known for his masterful use of paint in seemingly any environment. From paper and traditional canvas to the back streets and public spaces all across Europe and the wider world including Moscow, Hong Kong, Turkey, and the United States. Pejac’s work is usually not simply a canvas for a beautiful painting but also a talking point for heavyweight social and environmental concerns.

“Both melancholy and humor are the locomotive of my works. They create a poetic language whose essence doesn’t rely on simple beauty, but on the hidden side of everything.”

MIRIAM HOFFMANN

UNITED STATES

www.miriamhoffmannart.com

Miriam Hoffmann is a contemporary Mixed-Media Portrait artist who lives and works in Atlanta, GA. Largely driven by her own experiences, Miriam explores themes of fatigue, angst, and disconnect through her astonishing and diverse portraiture work. Largely self taught, Miriam intertwines ink, acrylic, and oil into thought provoking and often uncomfortable pieces.

With the honesty with which she depicts her subjects, Miriam Hoffmann allows the viewer to get a better understanding of his or her longings, deceptions, and fears, which are subtly reflected in the portrayed subjects.

AARON LACY

UNITED STATES

www.aaronlacy.com

Aaron Lacy is a fine art photographer that was born in Canton Ohio. Having worked in electrical engineering, he has always possessed expert knowledge of the mechanics of light. Aaron primarily works in black and white and masterfully controls light to create depth and shadow, often giving the appearance that time has frozen in exquisitely focused, suspended reality.

African American women are typically at the center of his art, and his work is heavily inspired by the fluidity of the female form. His work has been featured in many galleries, and he won the “Best in Show” award at the Mnemonic Exhibition at H Gallery in 2018. His work is enigmatic and precise and can be found in private collections across the country.

EMMA LOUISE PRIN

All of Emma's photographs are captured with a pinhole camera. The pinhole is an inexhaustible source of creativity. Chance is entirely part of the process. You never quite master the technique. The image that will come out is always a surprise and from an error can emerge an unexpected image that none would ever have imagined.

Her images evoke intimate subjects. What she photographs is the carnal sensation, the expression of desire, abandonment, lack, dejection, doubt, a need for consolation, love, and physical contact. Her pinholes are poles apart from perfection and digital mastery. Out of the box, each time comes to an image haunted by ghosts, imbued with a poetic melancholy that fascinates her.

For me photography is an escape from everyday life. I love the process of editing photos and creating something magical. I like to imagine that there's another part of this world that we can not see.

Anastasia is a Russian photographer and Professional Economist. Her style is minimalistic and focused on geometric patterns in urban places.

When she turned 30, Anastasia realized that she wanted to live a completely different life. She packed up her belongings and moved to the sea in Spain. There she studied with a wonderful teacher, art photographer and art critic - Dmitry Bogachuk, who guided her and teach her to understand art.

Her formal training is evident in her stylish use of line and space in her current vision of photography. Through contours, geometry and light, Anastasia learned to gain a new vision of the world and to convey her moods and ideas.
