Portfolio Work in progress:
The idea of the portfolio is to capture the routine of people, the "normal life", but through an interesting side. I want to capture the magic of living through taking pictures of different people and parts of their lives. People usually see their life as something dull and uninteresting, but there is so much beauty that we can find even in the saddest setting.

Gustav Klimt loved to include symbolism in his paintings, such as in this one, “life and death”. The subject matter of this painting is the grim reaper and figures of people tied together. It can be considered a representational artwork as we recognise figures of people and the subject matter. Klimt painted this artwork during his “golden period” ; this painting makes part of his famous art nouveau and modern artworks. He emphasizes the people by using soft and warm tones which contrast with the cold and dark tones of the background and of the grim reapers' clothes. By this contrast of tones he makes the emphasis on the vitality of life. As the subject matter is painted using patterns, the negative space that surrounds it helps to not overload the artwork with detail and bring attention to the figures. The painting consists mostly of curved and flowy lines, making the painting soft and pleasant to look at. The proportions of people are not accurate - an eye-catching stylised distortion proper to the art moderne style.
This image, as its title suggests, is a metaphor for life and death. I find that mortality is the main sign that Klimt wanted to communicate, using the signs of death and life. In this painting he represented the grim reaper as a signifier of death, and all the intertwined people - let's call them the Life group - as the signifier of life. The grim reaper is a well known symbol that artists have used since ancient times to represent death. The grim reaper looks at the Life Group and smirks, knowing well that they all will join him someday. Klimt here wanted to pass the message that life and death are interconnected and cannot exist apart from one another, and death is the logical end to everything, but also the beginning of everything new. Breaking the traditions, Klimt represented death before life, and the painting's name ”death and life” puts death in the first place; Klimt wanted to show that death is not only the end but the beginning as well. This painting touches on Memento Mori- “remember that you will die”. Klimt also included symbolism in the patterns, such as the crosses on the grim reaper's clothes which represent the cemetery, and the green pattern behind the Life Group which represent fauna. The artwork is subjective and based solely on the artist's perspective. He plays with emotions that he represents on faces ,makes interesting use of colors and patterns to bring the viewer's attention where he wants it to be; he also uses symbolism to convey the meaning of the painting.
In my opinion this painting translates its message effectively. I personally see it as an irony about life; even the most beautiful living is always meant to die. Like flowers, those people, full of life, will eventually fade and the grim reaper - who stands and waits for the moment to come - will take possession over them. When I look at klimt’s artwork I feel amazed by the beauty of his interpretation and melancholic at the same time. Once again, “memento mori”- mortality is the main symbol here. The elements of art and principles of design that the artist employed translate well his message.

The name of the series is “Battered waters' by Anoush Babajanyan. One picture appeared to me as the most memorable so the analysis will mostly be done on that picture. The subject matter can be recognised as the photographs of this series are done in a realistic way. The subject matter of the series is the climate crisis: lakes and water sources in Kyrgyzstan dry out and disappear because of global warming; and the subject matter of the main picture is the hot water fountain surrounded by women. At first glance it looks like a simple photograph of women gathering around a hot spring, which is a pretty objective depiction of a moment of their life. Though, after reading the description, you see that the author was trying to make the audience feel the importance of water and the appreciation we should have for this vital resource. The description changes the view of the image as now we see that the women gather around this hot fountain because it is something very precious for them.
The colors here play an important role - the overall color palette of the series is a variation of gray tones. Water is essential for life to be, and the absence of it gives this feeling of deadness which is transmitted by the lackluster colors. The main photo is slightly more colorful because it is meant to transmit the joy of the women that enjoy the water, and the warmer tones serve to transmit this emotion. The picture displays the subject matter on the foreground, and the background is perceived as negative space. The use of negative space is very prominent in the whole series as it objectively describes the vast territories and the minimalist landscapes of Kyrgyzstan. A subtle feeling of movement is achieved because the line of the fountain border connects with the figures of women sitting on it, creating this line moving upwards and towered by the lady with her hands in a scooping position. This line adds a dynamic element to this seemingly static composition. The rough texture of water creates a contrast to the texture of the smooth fields in the background. The emphasis is made on the fountain - it is the only black color present among the light tones. The women are also emphasized by their pink colored clothes on the image filled with browner and colder tones and by the use of lighting coming from the side making them subtly glow.
The main message of this photo is that water plays a big role in our life. With the climate crisis, water is slowly disappearing and countries fight for this precious resource. The author is showing to the audience the problems of central asia to raise awareness of the consequences of climate change. The series is rather subjective, as it is taken in such a way to transmit emotions and a specific atmosphere/feeling. The faces of the women here, their pose, their hands that they interlace in a loving gesture, the lighting and the emotions that we feel looking at it are all the subjectiveness in this work. The objective parts are the landscape, the water fountain and the women depicted in this photograph, and objectively we can perceive it as just a depiction of a place in kyrgyzstan. This series of photos has national importance for the country of Kyrgyzstan because it speaks through images about the problems that those countries are facing. The main photo represents the value that people of Kyrgyzstan accord to water. It also has ethnic importance because the photos depict the culture of those peoples, often representing traditional clothing, their way of life and their values.
Looking at all the principles of art and elements of design that were analyzed earlier we can come to the conclusion that the author communicated effectively their message. This series targets people sensitive to the climate change theme. Speaking personally, this image touched me a lot because the author, through his artistic vision, transmits deep emotions. He shows this country and culture that is very different from anything we are familiar with, and seems very strange and very captivating at the same time in its delicacy and simplicity. The photos speak deeply to me about the problems that people are facing nowadays that we are not even aware of. Looking at the photograph I highlighted I feel some kind of serene happiness and appreciation for the basic things that we have, such as access to water.

This advertisement was made by the Absolut vodka company. The subject matter that is implied is the bottle of Absolut vodka, and different cities in which we can see it’s shape. The advertisement is made in an interesting way: the object is not displayed, but we can recognize it’s form so we finish the image in our head. This campaign made the shape of the Absolut vodka bottle even more recognizable.
The poster is made with multiple pictures with the same shape of bottle repeating, which creates kind of a pattern. Also, the pattern present here is obviously the grid in which the cities are represented. A sense of proportionality is achieved because all of the shapes have a similar size. The work also feels balanced -which is weird because there is no symmetry- but here the balance is created with the same visual heaviness among all the 9 pictures (similar tones, similar amount of details and empty space, etc). This advertisement is mostly playing with shapes, enhancing the shapes of the bottle in different locations. The shape here is the main focus of this poster. There is a variety of forms in each image and the negative space between them is minimized, which results in the poster feeling visually heavy (loaded with details). In some of the images the form of the bottle is emphasized. For example: in the Absolut Paris, the contrast between the dark trees/background and the bright door frame emphasizes the door frame in shape of the bottle. In the Absolut Arkhangelsk the emphasizement is achieved through contrast of the dark bottle-shaped water and the white ice framing it. The colour here plays an important role: for example in the Absolut New York, the bottle form is created by the yellow cars that are surrounded by cars of other colours, so the uniformity of yellow cars pop out. The light blue bottle colour in the Absolut LA makes It very distinguishable like the light blue hue of the original bottle. The variation of textures between the pictures catches the eye: for example the texture of the crushed ice on the Absolut Arkhangelsk, smooth texture of the guitar on Absolut Madrid, and the water texture on the Absolut LA.
The advertisement is passing the message that Absolut is present in every city. In this ad people might see their cities, and when seeing the city they feel a connection with and seeing the shape of the bottle they also connect with the product displayed. This advertisement can be decoded in a dominant hegemonic reading because there is nothing controversial around it, the message transferred is directly perceived by the audience. The objective aspects are the shapes of absolute and the cities represented, and the subjective aspects are the connections audience makes with the bottle of vodka through seeing something they associate with.
The ad is communicating its message effectively, and was very effective on the time it was made because people felt connected and implied, and sales of Absolut vodka jumped because of that. The target audience here are the people who live in the cities pictured, because they will make connections. Even myself: when I first saw it I felt implied and interested because I saw a city from my country and this ad related to me. If I saw this ad continuously with my city I would rather buy this product than some other because it would stay in my memory and have a personal meaning for me.

This image is all about dreaming, the feeling when you have your head in the clouds but you are still being held on earth by all the material things. We all have to try to be grounded but especially art people tend to be somewhere else in their head.

This image was created by the photographer Antonio Mora (the date of creation is unknown) and is called "Trapped". The subject as I see it is about our fantasy and our way of perceiving the world. The photography is in realist/surrealist style and is displayed clearly, so we can identify easily the things that are displayed on it.
The artist uses an interesting technique of layering in his works, he often layers faces of different people with etheral landscapes to add depth and meaning to his images. He plays with the contrast of a darker discolored background and a clearer and more colorful center to make the person looking at it really trapped, as if there is pression coming from the outside of the picture and it begins to be released in the center. The background looks like an old film black and white photography. It's quality and colorite deeply contrasts with the layered landscape of a sunset or sunrise, and the doorframe blends seamlessly with the silouhette of the girl's head. The emphasis on the landscape in the centre and on the lower face of the girl achieved with framing catches attention, and the symmetry of the work makes it look very balanced and calming to look at. The negative space in the background is dark, which makes the work look deeper and really brings out the foreground which is lighter.
When i look at this work I relate to it as i think that our fantasy is the thing that can help us whenever we feel bad and when the world makes you feel lonely, depressed, unhappy you can always turn towards other universes that you can create in your own head. You can live in any world that you would like to because you can make up your own mind, and thats what i think the author was trying to show with this picture. This formal analysis made me rethink this work and while i was writing it notice details that i didn't notice before and get a more deep and complete image of it. I also perceived the meaning differently at first, as I got a thought that it was about being easy minded, but I rethought it while writing this analysis.
