The current print is edition number 1 (this can be changed without notice). 30" x 42" E10 $5,300 40" x 56" E5 $8,300 50" x 58" E5 $12,000 2 AP About the photo: Aldara Ortega’s Flow Like Water shows the medium of water encasing and expressing its feminine nature. It takes in and caresses the dancer as she moves her limbs to embrace herself and the beauty of her being. Ortega tends to focus her photographs on the female form because she sees herself in what she is creating. Flow Like Water awakens the divine, creative, and nurturing feminine power in the viewer and reminds us to cultivate and tend to these aspects within themselves. About the Series: The series Freedom and Confinement was photographed pre-pandemic but as the world shut down and Ortega was forced to get physically and mentally closer to her photographs. While spending more time with herself and her artwork, she discovered that these three pictures encapsulate a lesson we all had to learn: how to break free of confinement by using the freedom of your mind. The idea of growing to be at ease in small spaces was reflected for Ortega in her experience capturing these photos. Taken in a small silver jacuzzi located in Manhattan, New York, Ortega and her models had to find a way to capture expansiveness, tranquility, and the feeling of breaking free. Flow Like Water, Freedom 2, and Seeing Through the Veil eventually came together to reveal what the freedom of Ortega’s mind can express despite the confinements of space. About the Artist: Aldara Ortega, a self-taught photographer based in New York City, over a decade ago, she began experimenting with the underwater world to find an escape from urban life. Her work is a visual journey of self-discovery, freedom and pure expression of the body, mind, and heart. It is the result of the transformational experience of being submerged in water, letting go and reconnecting with the raw, liberated, inner self. Through her underwater portraits of women, she builds an intricate storyline of personal narratives offering the viewer glimpses of her personal search to honor the feminine. She invites you to intimately connect with the work and elicit feelings of strength, boldness, sensuality, liberation and empowerment. From the Artist: "Plunging into an underwater world, I allow the inherent power to take over and start to explore. Submerged, my photography brings this exploration to life focusing on the strength and beauty of feminine energy, celebrating women and their bodies. I invite the viewer to connect with me, be present in the moment, perceive things differently and appreciate light, motion and feeling."

Price on request. About the Series: Aldara Ortega’s series Agua Viva was an entirely experimental journey brought together by the serendipity of life, motion, and emotion. Ortega found the model featured in these photos at an art fair where she was spellbound by her work with silks. The two met in Miami and brought to life a series of three photographs entitled, Liquid Passion, El Beso, and Poderosa Nereida. Within these masterpieces Ortega discovered her passion for not capturing poses, but motion and how looking closely at the in-between moments of life can bring to light undiscovered emotions. About the photo: Aldara Ortega spontaneously captured this image of a friend on a trip to the British Virgin Islands. One Love was created through the guidance of Ortega combined with the model's complex past with water. We tend to try and fight the tempests of life, but we must learn how to float and let things be.

Mimi Love 02 - The Painters Project, by Eric Ceccarini
By Eric Ceccarini
Located in New York, NY
A photograph mounted to aluminum, protected by a mat lamination and set in a black float frame. This limited edition artwork is offered in 3 sizes. This artwork is offered in 3 sizes. The price of the artwork increases with the edition. Please contact us to inquire about the current edition number, availability, and price. A meeting between a painter, a model and the photographer… Extensive, both in time and scope; ThePainters Project is an ongoing collection of collaborations with painters to whom Eric offers as a canvas some of the very best models he has enjoyed working with during his career. For a number of these artists the project offers them a step in the dark, an escape into unknown territory. They must settle into a new environment with unfamiliar light, unusual shadows and highlights and a canvas that is not only three dimensional but alive, breathing and sentient. Movements and poses influence their strokes, they must discover, adapt and ultimately tame this canvas with their brush. Together, the body and the art become one to achieve the sublime. To blend the often distinct viewpoints of different disciplines and work together; to mix various instruments, tools and angles is an uncommon, yet extremely rewarding and exciting approach, but also contrary to the eternal solitude of the artist, a commonly echoed mantra in the art sphere. This unorthodox partnership gives birth to wonderful and often surprising creations. Magic succeeds when the ephemeral and volatile nature of paint on the human skin is forever captured through the lens and immortalised onto the image. The electric blue lines across the woman's body illuminate the photo and it seems as if she's wearing a cape. More than hundred meetings have already taken place with artists from the UK, Uruguay, Mauritius, Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, the US, China, Venezuela, Russia and many other countries all across the globe.
