Florian Lévy The ultimate ambition of this 2.0 Homo sapiens : to flatter his deepest narcissistic wounds in a virtual ego trip. He wants by hook or by crook to leave his footprint on the blue planet. To spread. Spread his bullshit like a disease. Feed the rest of this stupid mass always hungry for hollow things in way to alleviate its insipid lab human daily life enslaved by illustrious technological multinationals. He thinks control his existence… Haha. Douce innocence… He’s forgetting to himself. He’s lying to himself.

I would never believe, that my works will be displayed in the world galleries when I started to do photography 4 years ago. Actually, I never wanted to be a photographer in the first place. Yes, art has been part of my life since childhood but photography became the medium which I used to epxress my inner self very unexpectedly. It has happened as most of the important things in your life do ... unexpectedly.
I can clearly remember how I photographed everything around me. I would define this period as falling in love or love. Photography became my drug. I am doing it for 4 years now and I can clearly say, that this journey was full of surprices, hapiness and dedication to work. I am going to be addicted to it even more and I might even try some new visual medium to Maria Svarbova Fotografie, Artdirection, Digitale kunst info@mariasvarbova.com

The main idea is to show that before the words, the representation of the sign is a language itself. This is a experiment in progress. Patrick Garbit is a French born graphic designer, based in Lyon. He graduated in early 2014. Occasional artist, musician and tattooist, he co-founded imob clothing in 2011 with his brother. He has interned in many agencies and studios which allowed him to meet designers from different horizons, and share their visions. This website presents a selection of works he did so far.

Most often I source my images through google image searches, and sometimes I photograph book pages or people I know. Generally I look for a very specific image, and then make a series of small compramises until I am happy with what I have found. This is an interesting journey through colour, composition and subject and sometimes I end up beginning work on a completely different image than the one I was looking for.
