PORTFOLIO: SEPIA & TONING

Juni 23, 2018Februar 19, 2019 Michael Nguyen

Sepia photographs are usually with reddish-brown color over the entire image surface and have a reduced color gamut. Sepia in photography is often to achieve the effect of aging pictures, reminding of the past. In my work, the use of sepia is restraint to a part of the canvas and in harmony with the blue tint. It conveys consequently the gradient shift of time, going backward from present to a distant past.

The works by Michael Nguyen are not mass-produced or commercial goods. They are original Artworks. All works in the online shop are produced in a noble limited edition of only five copies, signed on the back and provided with a signature stamp. Each picture in the shop is unique and exclusive: they cannot be found elsewhere. Moreover the form and the medium such as frame, printing & finishing technique are carefully selected by the artist not only to match the visual but also to convey the message of each photo. All are developed and/or printed of the highest quality by local production houses.

Of course, every work shown on the Website & Online shop can be ordered in different motif sizes. Contact me if you have special wishes.

I only deliver my original works of art to customers within Germany. Interested parties from abroad and also of course from Germany can order my artworks as FineArtPrints on paper, canvas or metal everyone at an affordable price for the smaller purse on Fine Art America. They have the largest print-on-demand fulfillment network in the world. They have 16 manufacturing centers located in 5 countries (USA, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Netherlands). Each manufacturing center can ship products to any destination in the world. When you place an order, they will automatically route your order to the nearest manufacturing center in order to minimize shipping costs and speed up delivery times.

THE WORLD AND EVERYONE WE HAVEN’T KNOWN (IN THIS LIFE)
Photographs
On the streets, in the museum, on the river banks, in the woods, underground. We meet them everywhere. We don’t talk to them, we just watch them doing whatever they are doing. We don’t ask ourselves what they are thinking or what their lives are like. We just like those moments and capture these. Because we want them in our memories. And maybe those people are not strangers. Maybe we know them in other lives. The woman in front of the new-stand could be our mother. The homeless man could be our husband. The girls in the lunch break could be our sisters. Maybe someday we know them again in this life or the life after. But right now we miss them.

Michael Nguyen
WITH THE THIRD EYE OF A WANDERER THROUGH THE VISUAL ADVENTURE OF LIFE
FotoArt
At his core, Michael Nguyen is an artist, not a photographer but more a photographic poet or something he himself could not define. He moves away from the mainstream, at the same time blurs genres. Most of the time, he focuses on small, ordinary things but through the subjective lens, give them new perspectives, a new soul. Michael Nguyen’s photography is the art of showing more than you can see. Making visible – worshipping the invisible, he walks with the third eye of a wanderer through the visual adventure of life.
Artworks from the series THE WORLD AND EVERYONE WE HAVEN’T KNOWN (IN THIS LIFE), MOODY DAYS, LONELINESS IN THE REALM OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS, THE GHOSTS OF MELANCHOLY and ACROSS THE UNIVERSE.
