Alain Lacki draws the viewer in to his mysterious world of natural surrealism with visually stunning photographs of the truly impossible but seemingly real. Lacki utilizes visual imaging techniques to alter, transform and often combine his photographs with the dexterity and creativity of a master painter. The artist’s perceptive eye discovers beauty throughout the world around him, from the sensual curve of the female figure, to the glistening of a dewdrop upon a spider’s web. Through the camera lens, he captures this natural splendor only to enhance it through careful manipulation with digital imaging software. For Lacki, the computer mouse functions as a paintbrush or sculptors chisel, modeling, shaping, and giving life to a new image inspired by nature, but conceived in his rich imagination.
An accomplished artist, Alain Lacki also works as a wildlife and advertising photographer. He has exhibited his work in Europe in Paris, Brussels, Arles and on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe.
I am fascinated by the works of Ernst Haas, who encases nature, Cheyco Leidmann, who disturbs and who reinvents and still by Lucien Clergue, who knows so well how to marry woman and nature. A wildlife photographer in Africa, then advertising photographer in Paris, I now reside in Guadeloupe (Caribbean islands) enjoying the quality of life and my passion for the beauty. For a long time I left my artistic work in the shadow of the studio, as if I could show it only when I was completely satisfied with myself. Now, however, I finally understand that an artist is never completely satisfied with himself and it is the best possible thing for me.
