Adrian Borda’s photo, We Are The Resistance II, captured my
attention several months ago while browsing the Internet. Encountering his
amazing painting, Life Is A Dance In The Rain III, several days ago on Facebook,
the decision was final for my next post. The most difficult decision has
been which of these extraordinary works to display. Since a post displaying all
of them would be much too lengthy, I have chosen a sampling to share and
provided links for your personal discovery of this incredible artist.
Are this woman's hopes written in the book she majestically wears around her neck? Has she been engulfed and consumed by the beings of the sea underneath the ship she wears on her head? As she cries and places her note in the bottle, will she set it afloat in hope of rescue from whom or what? What do you believe is her story is?

Reghim, Romania. His early pursuit of painting began at the age of twelve. Each

erotic, and detailed.

The use of light in his photography presents a world both mysterious and inviting which draws the viewer to enter and become one with the scene. Adrian is a true artist with photo manipulation which he uses to create the appropriate atmosphere he wishes to convey with his image.

The strength and command of this hand moving against the resistance of water is reflected in Borda's powerful photograph. His words, "dare to face the enemy," aptly describes the dynamic presented here.

The influence of Dali’s surrealism and the symbolist, Gustav Klimt, are combined and manifested throughout his work. Classic themes with a modern tone, resulting in Borda’s fantasy creations, are depicted through his various themes, mechanical figures, and societal taboos.
His paintings are meditations incorporating symbols about
our life and our most intimate tendencies and reactions. Adrian states that
both in his real life and his work that he does not care “about conventions and
the taboos, there are no sacred memes that cannot be touched.”

Borda created the following amazing photo through the use of Photoshop combining his images from a forest near Fort Worth and a beach in Portugal where snow dunes were scattered across a plowed field.
