The Lush Underwater Worlds of Photographer Christie Lee Rogers

Hi, and I hope you are having a good day
I discovered an artist yesterday whose work is so visually stunning it merits a share.
In my opinion, her work resembles the work of the Renaissance masters. It's hard to believe some of her compositions are photographs and not paintings.
Hope you enjoy, and there's a link to more of her work below.

What a fantastic use of form and light...what a capacity to relate...for me she is expressing thought as form.

Beautiful! what would life be without Art, all forms ...

A wonderful interpretation--I totally agree that her use of texture, light, color, and shape is outstanding--so engaging.
Thanks for the response!

Dull and devoid of beauty and meaning, if you ask me

As the artists says on her website...

“Through our deepest vulnerabilities we somehow find our most profound strengths. In this modern Renaissance within, ignited by pain and distress- a transformative provocation, there is hope and beauty at the other side waiting to show itself.

Like water that flows life to all crevices of the earth, this image represents how everyday people can be transformed into angelic creatures with the slightest change of perspective, by using tools in new ways and allowing our mistakes to guide us toward new truths.”


"...using tools in new ways and allowing our mistakes to guide us to new truths."

Worth reflecting on.

Thanks for the OP.

Thanks for adding the words of the artist herself!
Interesting that the word Renaissance came up there as well.

Definitely worth thinking about, and now more than ever.

Wow these are truly amazing I cant add much besides some of the pictures remind me of religious paintings.

Thanks for sharing I will have to look at more of her works.

This is why it reminds me of religious paintings thanks for the addition. :

That 4th picture I posted in OP reminded me of something I'd see in the Sistine Chapel. I think it's very cool the artist used the word Renaissance to describe her ideas.

Art is racist.

Stop belittling brainless minorities with your white supremacy.
