Blog Nº6 - Favourite Artist

There are many artists that I find interesting. Of all you can always take references and inspiration, but one of the most I like is a Spanish photographer named Antoni Catany or Toni Catany. He is a photographer of the eighties, always learning by magazines, in a period of censorship in Spain and where photography did not exist in the Fine Arts schools.
His work includes still lifes, nudes and landscapes, common topics in photography and art, but he uses old techniques of photography, which I find very interesting.
"Mare Nostrum" is a series of photographs that he take in the Mediterranean sea, landscapes of ruins, cities and islands, beautiful landscapes to show an escape from the dictatorship of Spain. Toni died in 2013, but has won many awards.
For my birthday my boyfriend gave me a book by Toni Catany, a very beautiful book which always inspires me, also includes a travel log and his comments on the landscapes.
