about Raimond Klavins

Oh, what a miracle photography!

Photographing as a reflection of the inward life and state.

A step outside the world of forms.

 

As I wander the planet, I am keenly aware of light and form. My eyes are in a constant search for ways of translating what I see into a record that holds some representation of the beauty before my eyes, that I can in turn, share with others. Sometimes I feel like little more than a skilled translator, other times I know

that what I've seen and held would be missed by many.



I hope that my work is timeless, immune from the stylistic gyrations of modern art judgments. Others will have to make that assessment. I know that the forms and relationships I seek, the natural world we have co-evolved with, reach toward something essential in our heart and soul.



Although any art is somewhat limited by the technology of its time, I hope that my work is less about the time in history that I lived and the current human condition, than it is about the timeless condition of being a human on the planet earth. It will be fascinating to see how some of these notions might change as we move to other worlds. I suspect our language will broaden, and we talk about our place as humans moving through the natural forms and wonders of our universe and the notion of home is enlarged.
