Still lifes in collaboration with Alessa Joosten.
Photographs of unique handmade pieces made out of natural materials from Andalusia, Spain.ROYA

Traditionally, negatives serve as the foundation for producing prints,
capturing the essence of a scene.
Yet, for me, negatives become an extension of their creative expression.
The decision to modify these negatives is a deliberate act, one that breaks away from the conventional, paving the way for experimentation and innovation.

ROYA for ALESSA JOOSTEN

from sweet to pepper

The photographs were taken in Paris on November 23 with an old digital action cam. The work, called "Sculptures and Paintings," shows things left on the streets such as broken chairs, cardboard boxes, and elements from construction sites. Markings applied to asphalt and walls are transformed into abstract paintings that, like graffiti and street art, shape the urban environment. The photographs do not make these signs appear as references to construction projects, but as a type of art that finds its place in public space. "Sculptures and Paintings" shifts the perspective on urban space and challenges viewers to see everyday objects and signs as different.
