Bio
Lidia has a full-time job, a husband and 2 teenage boys. Art is her way to process emotions and express her views of the world around without using words. She always loved taking photos; she continues to feel inspired every time she looks around, whether alone, with her family or at work, by anything and everything. She likes to create stories around the photographs that she takes. She looks at them as life scenes and uses them as inspiration for her paintings. Sometimes she creates photograph series, or tells the story in a poem.
Description
Lidia Slominski started using bubbles for her art when the children were very young. That is also when she paid more attention to Dr. Seuss’s books with playful, simple texts and illustrations with powerful messages on success within us, life’s inevitable highs and lows, devotion, perseverance, and resilience. The bubbles are beautiful, delicate, fragile, yet resilient despite sun, heat, wind and cold.
In her portfolio project A Story with Bubbles, the intent was to symbolize the human struggle and determination to grow and to achieve, despite the obstacles we must overcome, but at the same time appreciate the joy and the humor along the journey.
But it doesn’t have to be that deep. Bubbles are an easy, versatile and fun subject to photograph and most importantly anytime, anywhere. In addition, you can make your own bubble mixture, or you can buy it in the store. You can use a wand or a bubble blowing machine. You can photograph them in everyday scenes or focus on reflections, patterns, repetition, textures or light play.
