Romanticism and melancholy:
P. Leszczyk, the modern Caspar David Friedrich of photography (WALIMEX)
The Photographer
Pierre Leszczyk (born 02.10.1974 in Bochum) Business Administration in Bochum
Today, he is living and working in his studio at the idyllic Möhne Lake, the picturesque
surroundings most of his works originate from. Photography accompanied the artist from
his early childhood days. But it wasn't until the beginning of the century that he turned his
creations into a profession. His works distinguish themselves by means of sensuality and
emotions, making his tendency to aesthetic perfection unmistakable. By putting his works
into effect himself, from the make-up through to the costumes, the artist achieves the most
possible freedom of design. In his pictures the model takes on a central role, letting the
viewer dive into the illusory world of strong emotions. Desire and melancholy are only a few
motifs reminding of the art of romanticism. The ideas of that art movement are thereby very
important to Pierre Leszczyk. In times coined by fast pace and efficiency, his pictures provide
a welcoming opposite pole of calm and melancholy. He grants his models a certain sense of
nobility. With his works, he invites us to take the time to dream a little. The artist designs
and tailors the dresses and costumes himself. They remind us of the rococo period, the
Victorian era or Biedermeier fashion. He is thereby not intent on exact interpretations of
historical facts, he rather places the dresses into a new context with his own combinations
and cuts. His pictures pay homage to the beauty of those times. He combines fashion,
architecture and models to express his own world. His models all come from the gothic scene.
Therefore, it is not surprising that his works are especially popular in these circles. Today Pierre
Leszczyk is one of the best known artists.
