Dream-like abstract photographs from simple elements of nature by Daniel Sroka

My twin sister rarely emails me links to look at, but today she insisted that I check out the wonderful artwork of Daniel Sroka. She found him on the website called Trunkt.

This was good timing because I was wanting to feature him anyhow. I've been following his work for over a year.

This is how he describes his work:

I create abstract photographs from what I call the 'artifacts of nature' -- flowers, leaves, sticks, bark, and seeds. I'm drawn to the obscure beauty that can be found within these broken and decayed pieces of nature that are normally just trod underfoot. In the beauty of their organic decay, I discover scenes that feel strange, mysterious, and yet vaguely familiar. As your mind tries to resolve these abstractions into something familiar, they reveal unexpected stories and characters.

In addition to his work on Trunkt, here is a link to his main website: www.danielsroka.com
He also has a very interesting blog that I read routinely: daniel sroka open studio

Thank you Henry! I really appreciate it.

Sroka's work is exquisite. I am always amazed at what he sees in a simple leaf, bud, petal.
