About the Artist

With a background in liberal arts and a Bachelor’s Degree in Photography from Webster University, Vermilye combines technical understanding with an experimental approach to digital image making. He creates all his work on a smartphone, capturing scenes, manipulating forms, and reconstructing meaning through mobile editing. Techniques such as flipping, symmetry and repetition often produce fractal-like compositions and dreamlike geometries. This approach forms the foundation of psychodynamic photography, a method that encourages a personal connection between artist, image and viewer. His work has been shown internationally in Geneva, London, Seoul and New York, as well as online in Metaverse exhibitions.

About the Artwork

This piece, titled Byzantine Fractal [2], is a symmetrical, intricate composition that blends architectural and organic elements into a striking kaleidoscopic pattern. The image juxtaposes vibrant turquoise and soft pink leaves against a complex backdrop of angular red and metallic structures, creating a vivid contrast between natural and man-made forms. The layered reflections and radial symmetry evoke a sense of infinite repetition, reminiscent of Byzantine mosaics and stained-glass windows. The combination of geometric precision and botanical forms invites viewers to explore the boundaries between urban and natural landscapes, producing a dynamic, visually immersive experience.
