““It is through the corridors of my mind that images are conceived
and realized – not the camera. I am an autodidact and multifaceted.
Ideas come, often unexpectedly, yet I trust my intuition. As I document, interpret and reinvent, images may go from the
sensual to the surreal, the mysterious to the elusive.””

“A meticulous search for the most expressive result and an unfailing sense of fidelity is characteristic in the work of Carla de Livry. Photographed with clarity and astute intimacy, images retain a poetic sensitivity where the power of mysterious and unspoken is more palpable than the apparent.”

NOT YOUR WALLFLOWER - Folio vii

it requires neither
explanation nor justification

“Beauty is essential for the spirit. It requires neither explanation nor justification and seeking it should require no apology. Beyond that, the portrait creates in us an emotional awakening, but to understand the image in all its fullness and transcend the picturesque qualities, we must magnify the viewing moment to look beyond and unlock the complex dynamics that arouse our thoughts and sensibilities and - in the end, our own personal perceptions and interpretation.”
- Carla de Livry

ON THE DARK SIDE

These images taken at the Louis Vuitton Museum in Paris, Frank Gehry’s architectural wonder of technological innovation, are reinterpreted and re-envisioned. So consider, here one can take a giant leap and step out onto the dark side of the Sculpted Space Station Vuitton.

TULIPA - FOLIO IIX

Whether in their full prime or withering gracefully, every botanical form embodies a personality and mysterious spiritual essence. From their sculptural structures of sensual beauty, the monochromatic, more often than not, is my ideal to capture their poetic allure and elegance, sometimes with a graphic twist, sometimes a modern classic aesthetic.

PAEONIA ALBIFLORA - FOLIO IV

Elegance in an ordered complexity, the exceptional singularity of their shapes and contours create an individuality that are uniquely their own and as natures ever changing light and shadows shift on their surfaces, silhouettes reveal surprising new volumes and character.

Symphony in Blue

With a full moon as backdrop, natures icy winds masterfully transform window panes into visual compositions of symphonic tour de force.

BLACK AND WHITE

““At times bordering on the abstract, the emphasized graphic forms and textures render ambiguous, if not mysterious, the fragility and fleeting grace in nature.
Stark and profound, images cast an overwhelming emotional stillness and an almost indefinable and unexpected poignancy, even nostalgia.””

— Carla de Livry

Caverns - Folio VII

A visual poetry of light and shadows, these images bordering on the abstract play close attention to form and texture revealing ambiguous, if not mysterious complexities and suggestive allusions, which only the eyes of viewer may interpret.

Cycles - FOLIO IX

Conveying the fragility and grace in nature, the stark yet profound compositions are a symbolic and an unambiguous testament to the passage of time. Reflective, the series Cycles are one of contemplation for our ever diminishing natural world.
