Obsidian Desert, 2023
Limited edition of 5.
Printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag fine art paper, 'Obsidian Desert' combines the rugged majesty of Monument Valley with the evocative, tonal depth of black and white photography. Created using a large format camera and traditional film, this piece captures the stark contrasts of light and shadow that define the desert's enigmatic beauty. The photograph is part of a meticulously crafted limited edition of 5, each hand numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
The textured, luminous surface of the fine art paper highlights the photograph’s intricate details, from the soft gradients in the sky to the rich, velvety blacks of the silhouetted sandstone formations. Ugne’s commitment to physical craftsmanship is evident in the tactile allure of the print, providing a profound and meditative viewing experience.
This timeless work is securely packaged in a protective cardboard container and shipped insured via express delivery to ensure it reaches its destination in pristine condition.
Artist Biography:
Ugne is a Lithuanian fine art photographer based in London whose work is deeply inspired by the complexity and beauty of nature. With a background in photographic science, her practice is rooted in the tactile elegance of traditional printing methods and analog film, resulting in works that are both meditative and timeless.
Driven by an enduring fascination with nature’s intricate formations and the interconnected systems of its creation, Ugne immerses herself in the natural world during her travels. From exploring ancient cultures to observing the fragility of ecosystems, she draws inspiration from the grand yet often-overlooked wonders of the natural environment. Her photography reflects these observations, seeking to express the complexity of what is too often taken for granted a profound reminder of the threats facing the planet’s delicate balance.
Through her work, Ugne invites viewers to contemplate not only the fragile beauty of nature but also the urgency of preserving it. Her photographic expressions combine light, shadow, and abstraction, creating visual poetry that celebrates the vast and mysterious systems of life.
Her accolades include:
2024 Black Spider Awards, 2nd Place - Merit of Excellence in Still Life Gloriosa
2023 Budapest International Photo Awards, Honourable Mention in Fine Art-Abstract
2023 Black Spider Awards, Honourable Mention in Still Life
2022 Black Spider Awards, Honourable Mention in Still Life
2022 IPA International Photography Awards, Honourable Mention in Analog/Film Fine Art
2021 Mono Visions Photography Awards, Honourable Mention in Fine Art
Note: Ugne's debut solo book on black and white photography, Solace, is now available on 1stDibs listings. This exquisite volume reflects her signature style, celebrating the interplay of light and shadow through timeless compositions.
