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

‘Immaterial Geometricae’ is a digital artwork that exemplifies my concept of psychodynamic photography, where everyday scenes are transformed through mobile editing into intricate visual experiences. In this square-format composition, neon-lit forms are vertically repeated and distorted, creating a mirror-like effect that evokes fractals and hidden fantastical creatures. At the centre, the subject fades into a painterly blur, blending photography with abstraction and inviting viewers to explore the surreal dimensions that lie beneath our ordinary perceptions.
