The pretentious statuses of high school girls on social networks often quote Marquez's words that perhaps in this world you are just a person, but for someone you are the whole world. And the American photo artist Nino matasa sees the whole world in a tiny dew bead on a grass or flower, a drop of rain on a glass or a blade of grass. And this world is so beautiful, attractive and mesmerizing that one wants not only to enjoy this spectacle, but also to share it with other people. What Nino Matasa does with her photos from the series Small World.
It took the girl many years to understand that photography is not just a hobby, but a vocation. She first studied medicine, then jurisprudence, but in the end she realized that none of the listed specialties gives her the same pleasure and inspiration as photography. Emotions, moments, pleasant moments and memories - all this is hidden in a photograph, and what it will be depends on the skill of the photographer.
The camera is a brush, and everything that we see around is a canvas. This is how Nino Matasa looks at the world. And he draws with his "brush" incredible plots, the main characters of which are, in our case, water droplets, be it dew, rain, or a home shower. And these beads, sparkling like precious stones, adorn blades of grass and leaves, petals and villi like a diamond necklace adorns the neck of a beautiful lady. The whole world is reflected in them, and the task of the photographer is to convey what he sees through the lens to those who look at this world with the naked eye.
The close-ups of Nino Matasa are so colorful they could be postcards. However, they will not lose their charm and being huge posters that adorn the walls of an apartment, office, gallery. You can see all this with your own eyes on the personal site of Nino Matasa.
