PORTFOLIO

ABOUT ME I am Eduard Pothast, born in Indonesia in 1949. I worked 20 years in the Netherlands as photographer.

In 2003 I moved to Portugal to concentrate on developing different forms of art: *graphic arts (reliefprinting), *eco-constructions *digital photography and printing.

I am an autodidact with in all the art forms with wich I work.

The reliefprintings are more or less figurative and among other things inspired by the human body. In my compositions, which I carve in wooden plates, I try to find the perfect lines.

Most off the prints are ´unica´s´ but I also used my plates several times, introducing then different colours and accents.

The eco-constructions are made of recycled materials which a big amount I find around my quinta in the wood. I collect all kind of materials and create them together to a new ´live´.

The energy-photoproject: “ new energy…..a new horizon” consists of a collection of edited images of windturbines. Inspired by the ambivalente attitude towards the modern windturbines which we see placed anywhere and everywhere across the landscape, generating controversy and discussion. My question was: “are these ´wind giants´a pollution to the horizon…or not?
