Tilda George has chosen a totally different approach to the sea. She does not
need extra objects to intensify the impression. She prefers to face the sea, to be
at arm’s length where she strives to be close and intimate with the sea so that
she can hear its whispering breath.
You can’t do these pictures justice by viewing them in haste, just once. These
photographs demand that you return, linger in front of them and contemplate.
The texture of some of them is reminiscent of the polished surface of porphyry,
malachite or opal. In others, the images are rendered in what looks like the brush
strokes of an oil painting, and in others, there’s the gleaming and shine of molten
metal.
Tilda George’s aim is precisely the same as of that painter working on canvas and
she always succeeds in her endeavours. Her artistic achievements are more than
those of a simple photographer. They have a deeper significance and embody
Tilda George’s unique characteristics as an artist-philosopher. Her love and deep
knowledge of painting, music, poetry, philosophy and cinematography underpin
her technical skills, and that’s why her art is always powerful and noteworthy.
