"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.“ - Edgar Degas

Bruno Wojnicz, Photographic Artist

Artist's Statement

The purpose of my work is to evoke a meaningful and highly charged emotional response from the observer.  The presentation of my static images are really two-dimensional catalysts of emotional suspensions to be released from a visual contact from the intimate confinement of  the viewer’s consciousness. Passion, with all its manifestations of ecstasy, joy and pain is a recurring theme of my work.

I do not work with popular or trendy themes. The images in my work may overlap with today’s populist scenarios but my intention is a personal emotional and psychological response to purposefully arouse current or past memories.  The more intense the better. This is not an attempt to create cheap and shallow images for the shock value and I have no time for those who believe that it is. The works are an attempt to bring out the viewer’s experience of a given issue at hand whether for sheer and bountiful delight or the agony of pain.

I believe that It is for the artist to utilize the subject matter displayed in their work as a tool to bring out a viewer reaction and to hopefully bring about an emotional understanding of the image.  I hope to tear the viewer’s feelings apart and for the viewer to reach a deep visceral and symbiotic personal relationship to the portrait. The work is to be the stimulant for empathy for the viewer’s craving for a deep connection.
