This fine-art portfolio features twenty noteworthy images celebrating aesthetic beauty in its various forms. My overall approach to photography and related forms of artistic production results from the combined influences of Cubism, Expressionism, Fauvism, Impressionism, and Surrealism, all of which affect how I see the world around me and then proceed to document it. This process involves important decisions regarding matters of abstraction, distortion, fragmentation, and emotional affect as well as whether to capture a subject realistically or instead quite innovatively.
Kylo-Patrick Hart is chair of the Department of Film, Television and Digital Media at Texas Christian University (Fort Worth, Texas, USA). As an artist and photographer, his motivation is to discover and capture the beauty, even when it is not always readily self-evident, that surrounds us continuously in all areas of our everyday lives. His photographs have been exhibited in numerous cities throughout the United States and in several countries abroad.
