Romania's capital city, Bucharest, displays an elegant past that, after 40 years of communism and corruption, is now reaching levels of decay that may defy renovation. Over the past ten years, I have tried to create a parallel between the image of Princess Brianna Caradja, whose aristocratic family was driven out of Romania by politics, and of the capital city that is crumbling both physically and socially. With my journalistic background, I attempt to mirror the forgotten, ignored grandeur of both the physical and social institutions of my homeland.

IMPRESSIONS
IN MOTION
As a fine artist, Bogdan generally works with strong narratives and place. His series In Motion deals specifically with his new life in Texas. Architecture as symbol is a common theme in Bogdan’s art, and it was no surprise that he explored that concept again in his new environment. In Motion is an exploration into street photography in Houston and captures the energy, noise, and pulse of the city. As he transforms the moving landscape into abstract expressions, he wields his camera like a paintbrush. He creates an architecture that seems somehow altered, somehow blurred. However, the lens he thought he was turning onto his new home, was actually focused back on him.
All fine art photographic prints are limited numbers and signed. On demand, they can be printed on a larger scale than is available in the online store. All images are printed on archival museum quality paper (hot press bright cotton paper). This particular series looks spectacular printed on large gallery wrap canvas. Please send an email to info@bogdanfotoart.com should you want a costumed size fine art photography print.
