Nikolaj Callesen

Nikolaj Callesen – photographic artist, born 1976.

Educated in anthropology and Fine art Photography.

In my practice I seek the possibilities and limits of the photographic medium. By use of various physical materials, like acrylic paint and chalk pastel, combined with digital editing, I work with the border crossings of the physical and the digital. I wish for the finished photographic artwork to stand out as an expression in itself. I am also interested in the notion of beauty and how crackles in polished surfaces, can allow the light and new possibilities to break in.
