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 artwork, titled Skylines (2023), is a vibrant, kaleidoscopic inkjet print that captures the dynamic interplay between organic and architectural forms. Boldly layered with intense colours, the composition uses mirrored symmetry to evoke a sense of depth, inviting viewers into an otherworldly landscape. The central focus is a mesmerising fusion of abstract foliage and structural elements, radiating with neon-like hues of red, green, and blue. The piece draws the eye toward the sky, which serves as a grounding contrast to the bright, overlapping patterns that dominate the foreground. Printed on photo paper at 53 x 68 cm, Skylines transforms familiar elements into a surreal experience, exploring the boundary between nature and constructed space.
