Bio:Photography Based Abstract Artist
For five decades, Claude Demers has journeyed through the evolving world of photography, from the crisp edges of realism to the fluid contours of abstraction. Starting with the classic camera, Claude captured life's straightforward beauty but grew along with the technological tide, learning and embracing each new tool and technique.
Through the years, as darkrooms gave way to digital screens, Claude shifted focus from the explicit to the implicit, finding a passion for the abstract. Each photograph became less about what was seen and more about what was felt, transforming Claude's work from mere representation to emotive expression.
Today, after 50 years of progress and persistent experimentation with both skill and technology, Claude's work speaks to the power of adaptability and the quest for artistic growth.
Artistic Statement
A "realistic" photographer captures images based on what they see but is limited by the scene at the moment.
In contrast, an "abstract" photographer has no such limitations and can create images that go beyond traditional subjects, colors, or lighting.
Similar to a painter, they can remove, add, or modify elements in their work.
Using various techniques and tools, abstract photographers produce unique images that are challenging to replicate, emphasizing experimentation in each creation.
