Billowy white clouds float in a turquoise blue sky above a white ocean as swimmers and surfers play in the cresting waves. Mark Bartkiw’s imagery is somewhat surreal—in content and colour. The Toronto photographer is fascinated with the idea of slightly skewing reality and creating imaginary worlds. He uses a variety of techniques—a collage of images to accomplish this compelling visual effect.

This C-print is sealed between dibond and plexiglass. This image is available in three sizes: 30 x 30 inches, $2,800 (Edition of 8); 36 x 36 inches, $3,200. (Edition of 5); 42 x 42 inches, $4,000. (Edition of 3 with AP).

‘These fictional tableaus are reflective of inner states of mind and responsive to world issues. The camera is used for its ability to record actual visual information and create a level of familiarity.’ Mark Bartkiw

He studied photography at Sheridan College. Bartkiw worked as a freelance photographer in advertising, portraiture and the fashion and music industries for a host of prestigious clients including Toronto Life, Paramount Pictures and Universal Music. His artwork is held in both private and public collections.
