Jorge Diezma



Jorge Diezma is a modern day master of chiaroscuro. When I was introduced to his work I was completely mesmerized by his dramatic tonal contrasts conveyed through his observation and painting of light, or lack there of. I enjoy studying his work and feel that it is something that every artist should minutely comprehend: the importance of light. Whether you are a painter, photographer, interior designer, architect, illustrator, ceramicist, sculptor, etc., light plays such a paramount role. Check out more of Jorge's work here.

My final series for my black and white photography class this past winter was precisely on this subject. I appreciate chiaroscuro so much in photography, especially black and white film. I've spent a lot of time studying it. I'll have to share my final photos with you soon...

(thank you Robert for sharing him with me)*
