The series of six photographs, “Fossilized Painting,” presents macro photographs of petrified wood that realize the abstract visions of the author. “Turibulum” presents an abstract vision of a censer that spreads fragrant scents. “Megacyma” shows the effect of a tsunami. “Vestibulum Inferni” is a vision of the vestibule of hell. “Metaphysicam Horizontis” refers to human life and its perception of reality. “Exastim” refers to the anatomy of ecstasy. In turn, “Nocumentum” refers to the creation of obstacle in life.

Cezary Toma comes from Czeladz (Poland). A scientist, but at the same time an artist searching, philosopher, meditator, nature enthusiast. Fascinated by the beauty of the world, he immortalizes his feelings through photography. He has been involved in artistic photography for a long time, focusing primarily on natural structures and through appropriate framing reveals their beauty. The way in which the artist presents reality, precisely shows how he sees it, feels it, experiences it, but it is hard to resist the impression that this is a concretization of painterly visions.
