From the site’s photographer archive: Caras Ionut’s images place people, animals and objects into dreamlike landscapes. These pictures should be read as imaginative photo art, not documentary scenes.

The original first-person introduction below reflects the artist’s words at the time this profile was published. Artist and interview credit: Caras Ionut. The former website could not be verified in this audit, so it is not presented as a current portfolio.

Born in February of the late 70s, I seem to have taken passion in cooler weather as my inspirations for photography in my life as a romanian artist; so much of my work shows depictions of fall and winter and my mechanics entail several hues of blues and whites. Most people when considering dreams would think of good positive dreams, and I like to think I captured that in my work. I also seem to visit the darker side of what people may see of dreams, not necessarily what one would see as negative, but possibly a dream that one could not quite understand or may feel alone. The definition of art can be quite broad, however one aspect of art that is widely explored is art through dreams. One’s perception of a dream is vast, which in comparison to the views of art, it helps to encompass what artists want from their viewers. That is the perception of many different opinions from their work. Art becomes most popular by both their similarities in view and also their differences. After all that is what art truly can be defined as, using such work in your own life because art is not useful without personal admiration and profess.
