I Found The Silence
Martin Stranka
Martin Stranka (*1984) is a globally acclaimed contemporary Fine Art Photography figure. His work has been honored with over 80 international awards. It has been exhibited and auctioned by the auction house Christie’s, with his exhibitions hosted in galleries across North and South America, Europe, and Asia.
"I Found The Silence" is a compelling exploration by Stranka, delving into the silent dialogue between the human and natural worlds. This long-running series creates a space where these paradigms engage in a delicate, thought-provoking interaction. Across more than forty works, Stranka examines themes of consumption and the impact of human life on nature, striving for a harmonious coexistence between the two.
The series invites viewers to reflect on both the escape from urban chaos to the tranquility of the countryside and nature’s attempt to reclaim bustling streets. It explores the pursuit of inner peace and balance, embodying the quest to anchor the mind amid moments of deep turmoil.
Though not initially conceived as a coherent series, the collection has evolved into a unified body of work, showcasing diverse forms and aesthetics. This evolution reflects the gradual development of Stranka’s theme of humanity’s relationship with nature, beginning with early works that laid its foundation. The series takes audiences on a journey of reflection and discovery, with each piece serving as a visual meditation on our place within the delicate balance of nature, encouraging a deeper awareness of our connection to the world around us.
