An underground french surrealist media artist who simulates glass sculptures through technology software. At the core of Voltaire's philosophy she states, "Technology is merely a tool in which I can capture the surreal divinity of nature intertwined with the modern world." Centered around the independence of the human mind from technology yet recognizing it's beauty and collaboration. In order to bring to life exquisite creations that intrigue the observer. It's the foundation of nature inspiring her to craft a modern surrealist interpretation of nature.

Voltaire seeks to bridge the profound inspiration found in nature with the surrealist potential unlocked by modern technology. Through her work, she explores how contemporary technological tools can be used to channel the divine, mysterious beauty of the natural world, transforming it into something transcendent and surreal.

At the core of her philosophy lies the idea that technology is not just a tool for creating but a conduit that enables a deeper understanding of nature. While nature itself is rich with textures, shapes, and forms. Often mysterious and unattainable in their full complexity. Modern technology allows her to capture and amplify these elements, reshaping them into surreal, dreamlike interpretations. Through her work, nature and technology converge in a new artistic language that reflects both the innovation of the modern world and the timeless beauty of the natural realm.

She draws from the latest advancements in software and digital modeling to simulate intricate glass sculptures. This process allows her to play with light, transparency, and reflection in ways that traditional sculptors could only dream of. Yet, despite the digital medium, her creations maintain a deep connection to the natural world, embodying forms that evoke the organic and ephemeral qualities of nature. Inspired by crystals, flora, the delicate curvature of organic matter, or the otherworldly patterns found in ecosystems. Her digital glass sculptures defy the physical limits of materiality, allowing her to conjure fantastical, weightless forms that still retain the elegance and fragility of glass but are freed from its constraints.

For her, this interplay between technology and nature is not one of substitution but of enhancement. The modern innovations of software powered by algorithms, 3D rendering, and computational simulations. Allowing her to create new visual languages that express nature’s beauty in ways that traditional art forms cannot. The software becomes a bridge: a mechanism that helps her sculpt not just a direct representation of nature, but a surrealist reimagining that pushes the boundaries of perception. Through digital tools, she is able to unlock layers of abstraction and surrealism that mirror the complexity, unpredictability, and divinity of the natural world itself.

Elio Brantford possesses an extraordinary gift for uncovering beauty in the details, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary through his lens. Known for his refined approach to macro photography, Brantford captures textures, shapes, and nuances with an intimacy that feels almost tangible. His work doesn’t simply tell a story, it invites you to experience it.

Drawn to encapsulating true nature of luxury in its purest form, Brantford turned his lens to the Crystalize Cleanser by Vicar Venetia. This was no ordinary photoshoot. It was a sophisticated exploration of elegance, an opportunity to unveil the quiet allure of a product that harmonizes science and artistry. Through a series of evocative close-ups, Brantford brought the cleanser’s crystalline texture to life, capturing its suspended granules and luminous formulation as light danced across its surface with a mesmerizing brilliance.

In true for Elio Brantford this was more than photography. It was as he says, "A visual symphony, a poetic tribute to texture, light, and luxury." With every frame, he transformed the Crystalize Cleanser into an emblem of refinement, immortalizing it as an object of desire.

Elio Brantford’s journey to becoming one of the most sought-after photographers is nothing short of remarkable. Born in Florence, Italy, to a family of artisans and designers, creativity ran in his blood. His mother was a textile designer who brought fabrics to life with intricate patterns, while his father restored Renaissance paintings with a reverence for detail that Elio would later emulate in his work. As a child, he would spend hours in his father’s studio, mesmerized by the way light played off the brushstrokes of ancient masterpieces. This early exposure to the interplay of light, texture, and detail would shape his artistic vision.

Elio’s love for photography began at the age of twelve when he borrowed his grandfather’s vintage Rolleiflex camera. What started as a hobby, capturing sun spotted streets and weathered hands of craftsmen in Florence, soon became an obsession. By the time he reached his late teens, Elio had developed an uncanny ability to highlight the essence of his subjects, whether it was the subtle grain of a wooden chair or the ethereal quality of a flower petal. His work quickly caught the attention of local galleries, and by the age of twenty, he held his first solo exhibition. It was here that his signature style emerged. A fusion of nature, fine art and commercial photography, defined by an almost tactile quality. His images were not just visually arresting but emotionally evocative, leaving viewers feeling as though they could touch and experience the textures he captured.
