I want to welcome to another edition of euro max from a light shows the heavy snow is weve got a mixed bag on the program heres a look at whats coming up. A light touch how one artist paints on a canvas of darkness. Music exports germanys top fifty days of rock dance floors across the globe. Are straight imports a berlin restaurant serves up a hearty winter dish from stop for. We start off with an artist who uses darkness as his canvas and lighting as his brush who tommo from finland it turns to viewer with his creations which are actually photographs with longer exposures and a moving source of light such as a flashlight while any background is fair game for tom oh from snow covered forest to abandoned houses when we visited him in his studio in helsinki. When hano who plays with light the results are magically glowing flowers of the night blinking lamps turn into radiant creatures from another world. Who calls this art light painting they are photos taken with a long exposure. He learned the technique about ten years ago from a friend. And that was look at me like a magical moment. And like maybe a week or two after that i just decided id have to you know tried by myself i just bought my first the s. L. R. Camera and then just start making you know my own experiments like most every night. Id like you weeks pass and maybe months passed and i i was like really hooked on that. Every like painting begins with a sketch on paper. What honey likes to design best are organic forms that look like flowers or plants. Later he transposes the lines and points into sequences of motion. People just ask the tower how you how you just do it and im just trying to explain that its Pretty Simple stuff but you just have to focus on the moment you have to practice all the movements like before having to go doing this like a choreographic that you argue. In his studio in helsinki prepares his next photo shoot. To create pictures like this he needs to use long exposures depend. In the background between three and ten minutes. He has to rehearse very precisely in his studio the sequence of movements that will go into the outdoor shot. Imitates the lines in his sketch using light. Everything that i do its like really happening on the picture its not made with the photoshop or some kind of Modeling Software its just like the real thing and that is something that is quite rare these days because like almost like every picture that you see on the internet its no its has some postprocessing of. The thirty seven year old artist uses many different sources of life for his pictures flashlights light strings and light bulbs and some new kinds of lamps that he built himself. This is like i want to just like planning tools and recently simple but it just works really nicely just this kind of christmas better go paraded christmas light and then i can. Draw lines with it maybe do some writings of course and it does look paint roller. And i guess thats this little lights. To make his. Needs almost absolute darkness stark dark forests or abandoned buildings today he has sort of the cellar vault of an old fortress. He says like painting is like meditation he could lose himself in. The room interviewing the result. Youre getting. This was some kind of white leak like from that window that told you all but actually doesnt affect the picture so im quite happy for. Tom oh never gets the winter blues its no wonder because the years darkest days offer the best conditions for his art. And staying on the subjects to amsterdam is bathing in light in the run up to christmas the bad plus a royal baptism in sweden coming up in todays express.

Creating today ive prepared some salzburg be a place for you and now enjoy. Here in the Northern Hemisphere we are used to cold and snowy weather in december i personally cant imagine the Christmas Season without it but lots of our viewers live in warmer climates and perhaps have never even seen snow so its always interesting to hear peoples reactions both young and old when they experience it for the first time. Oh. You get up and look out the window and suddenly everything is white. It just looks so nice and gives you a warm feeling inside i cant describe how nice it feels. And i come from cuba i was thirty seven the first time i saw snow. Just went out and touched it and it disappeared so fast. I went back inside stripped off and went back out so excited i didnt feel the cold myself. Or strangers love the first snowfall of the year it turns the world into a magical place and makes it shine. In the first snows fall and wild animals are tentative first as its so bright and dazzling but when they come out you often see them playing it especially the young ones like my dog and the children do too. I think snows better than rain because rain a celebrity and you cant do anything with it thats why i like snow more because with snow you can have snowball fights and make snow man and. Its just fun and its also really nice when the snow fall and thats what i like about snow. And. I come from some and when i was young we had lots of snow every year sometimes it was so high you couldnt see the houses but i am seventy three years ago i had to leave some newseum and ive missed the snow ever since for us winter was wonderful. Out of the sky. My name is mohammed and though so i come from eritrea i made a snowman with my teacher and threw some snow balls i was sure it was fun. That was really nice.
