Evžen Sobek: Blue worlds
"All of sudden I found myself in “Blue period”... Beginning of that era dates back to 2006 when I discovered holiday resorts and bizzare fisherman camps situated on the banks of the artificial lakes in the southern part of the Czech Republic. There was no blue color present at the beginning of the project but when doing first scans and editing all of sudden the blue naturaly came up and brought into the prints the significant feeling I experienced in that area... I realized there must be something magical we experience under blue sky...something what brings a joy into our lives...something what makes us feel comfortable...something absolutely essential for our existence... Perhaps this is the reason why the blue follows me until now... "
