Piece description from the artist
Liquid Cosmos transforms the interaction of oil and water into an imagined celestial scene. Through macro photography, suspended droplets become planet-like forms, reflecting intense yellow, turquoise and blue light while appearing to float between two luminous fields of colour. The surrounding fluid shapes create a sense of movement, as though these small worlds are forming within an unknown universe.
The photograph explores scale, contrast and perception, revealing how ordinary materials can produce extraordinary structures when viewed from an unfamiliar perspective. The balance between vivid colour and deep black gives the composition a dramatic, almost otherworldly quality.
Stefano Giacomi is a London-based photographer whose work focuses primarily on macro and abstract photography, revealing details, textures and forms that often go unnoticed by the human eye. His practice is driven by curiosity and experimentation, using photography to transform familiar subjects—from natural elements and insects to liquids, bubbles and organic structures—into images that can feel almost otherworldly. Rather than simply documenting what is in front of the camera, he looks for unusual perspectives that encourage the viewer to question what they are seeing. Nature is one of his strongest sources of inspiration, particularly its colours, patterns, movement and the complex structures hidden at a microscopic scale. His work has gradually developed into a distinctive exploration of the boundary between photography and abstraction, where real subjects can resemble landscapes, planets or entirely imagined environments. Through his photography, Stefano aims to draw attention to the extraordinary visual world that exists within ordinary things.
