Artist Bio
Walter Jakubowski is a photographic artist specializing in abstract imagery that suggests a story. The story is that which is created in the mind of the viewer in response to the “painterly images that spark the imagination. The compositions intimate an ambiance that is emotionally vibrant, mysterious, and full of drama, blurring the distinction between photography and compositional poetic design. They are purely abstract, presenting elements of color, texture, and ambiguous forms.”
Walter attended Alfred State College where he received a degree in Engineering Science. Later he briefly attended Alfred University to study Painting and Photography. Using the camera to capture compositional studies he realized that the power of photography as a creative medium was quite compelling. Eventually, his professional career in the engineering field took an abrupt turn as an Industrial Design Surface Sculptor which was more artistically creative. Post-retirement he intently pursues his first love, Photographic Art. He has over the years transitioned his nature landscape work into an exploration of the abstract. His work has been exhibited in numerous national and international juried exhibitions where he has won several awards.
