Beach Sculpture
Beach Sculpture by Manss Aval

Dr. Gardill and Martina Kolle selected Manss Aval’s art, Beach Sculpture, Out of Nowhere, and Wagner Moment for inclusion in the 2015 edition and wrote the following review on the Artist and his paintings:

The painter and photographer Manss Aval derives his artistic inspiration from contact with Nature. His painterly photographs with their wide ranging
perspective radiate the freedom of the landscape. This likewise applies to the detail, such as in “Beach Sculpture”. The motif is not immediately
apparent, but one is immediately impressed by the photograph’s melancholic mood and spectacular colors. The pale yellow leaves swim as if on a pearl string partly above and below the water surface in which a white cloudy sky is reflected.

Out of Nowhere by Manss Aval artist
Out of Nowhere
by Manss Aval

 

Out of Nowhere” appears at first like a long walk through different wooden
gates at the end of which light is awaiting. This prompts associations with
images of near death or out of body experiences. Aval reveals the vista
under one of the gates in the water with fog raising. The mysterious
emanating light creates a fascinating perspective.

 

Wagner Moment
Wagner Moment
by Manss Aval

 

Two dark blue bands sandwiching a white one-the overpowering minimalized photographic composition of “Wagner Moment” could be deriving from the
artist’s color palette. The low lying, bright horizon above the ocean provides the image’s calmness, whereas the overwhelming, heavy sky occupying three quarters of the photo creates the drama which Aval associates with Richard Wagner’s music. The color experience here differs from that of the other two water scenes. However, Aval’s gripping photography always evokes
deep emotions in the viewer.
