Frank Westermann

Westermann has a strong Mediterranean sensibility. If his photographs had a mission, it would be to capture the most rarely viewed scenes and environments the Costa del Sol can offer and present them in the most extravagant way.

Each project often consist of multiple works, often in a range of different media, grouped around specific themes and meanings. During research and production new areas of interest arise and lead to the next body of work. It may be totems, Segments of plants, Palm Trees or a series of Lions placed in remarkable places, on the best of days these images will stir up unexpected feelings and thoughts in their viewers. The less obvious lessons of nature interest him the most.

The artist´s photographs are most successful when they not only show beauty, but evoke a sense of wonder and mystery. Westermann´s photographs give a feeling of looking at a hidden world that is disregarded by the human eye. Photography is a way for him to experience the moment, suspend time and re-connect with his inner self. With this work, he is able to create an intimate conversation that takes the viewer to a place of quiet contemplation.
