In the past Swiss artist and scientist, Fabian Oefner has used the basic scientific principles of centrifugal force, magnetic fields, and opposing chemical compound mixing, e.g. oil versus water, to create his work. In some of his works Oefner uses a system of perfectly timed flash photography to capture images of the exact moment of paint dispersal. In essence, you are literally witnessing motion unveil before your eyes.

The series Marbelous shows an unusual look at the properties of oil, as colorful marbles of oil paint float in a solution of water and methylated spirits. Liquid Jewel is a new project by Swiss photographer Fabian Oefner previously as part of his ongoing exploration of manipulating paint with natural forces such as sound, centrifugal force, and even magnetism. In these new images the photographer turned his attention toward air pressure by harnessing the power of the popped balloon. Oefner covered modeling balloons in thick layers of acrylic paint and photographed each one milliseconds after popping it with a needle. The resulting effect captures the paint as its driven simultaneously inward and outward.

Searching for something new and unique, Philip Van Avermaet discovered the Smoke Art, the incense smoke in its most natural form, intrigued by its forms and its elegance, where he adds his personal touch with colors according to the inspiration of the moment. Philip does not work with Photoshop but only with software to color the smoke and he does not touch the unique and elegant shape of it.
