In large-scale artworks (photon* paintings) one can see the amplification of the microscopic processes of the light’s electromagnetic wave interference that provides an insight into the mysterious nature of light waves and, visually reminiscent of the networks of unknown worlds, reveal the „dark” – invisible – side of light.
The pictures are created as a laser beam is refracted on a drop of water. With a giant leap of scale, the beam is projected in a range of 360 degrees. As the white light of the laser beam is reflected, it is refracted in all the colours of the spectre.
The projection gets captured on a light sensitive surface – photography paper. After processing the paper with photochemistry an unique laser made ‘photonpainting’ is created. It is one of its kind and has its surface informatively packed with traces left by photon (light quanta).

* photon is an elementary particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic field and the basic "unit" of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation. It is also the force carrier for the electromagnetic force.
Photons display the qualities of wave-particle duality, namely, photons are characterized both by wave and particle qualities. For example, one photon may be able to break the light in a lens but it might as well demonstrate wave interference, it also shows the nature of its particles, which produces certain result, when determining its locus.
