With professional entomologists and capturing many creatures alone, discover unique colors, shapes and complexity to get a deep immersion, not only into the colorful world of nature, but also into your own inner world.
Process of working with magnetic attraction of the rhythm of color iridescence, becoming a special type of meditation for him, the possibility of concentration and opening of different dimensions of vision. Each image is leading to perfection to become an idealistic result of all introspection.
Careful research of specific angle of light, minimal nuances, transmission of precise details, structures and textures - all help the author to reveal an examined personal story about unity with nature and with himself.
The project also aims to provide viewers with the possibility of finding their own path towards self-analysis, to equip them with a special instrument to reach the depth and specific facets of each personality. Anderson Nielsen provides us with that tool with his work, creating a mechanism to reach our nature through the world of insects.
He sees each new object as an attempt to find the ideal path to the essence of human nature and search for his perfect insect that does not really exist, like all of us searching for the ideal for life.
Infinite amount of unique curves, combinations and proportions every time, we will discover something new inside with the better understanding of the idea about the fragility of nature and the mutations it is suffering now due to a significant ecological crisis.
Anderson's Little Creatures pay special attention to the unacceptable disdain we have for the insect world. Currently, this project can underline the importance of proper attitudes and care that can save us and open up surprising beauty to us. The giants of nature reveal to us the importance of urgently needed attention and respect to the world of nature.
