Hymns to the Night
Hymns to the Night is a fine art photographic series inspired by Novalis (1772–1801) and his vision of night as spiritual transformation. Through monochromatic photomanipulations, it reimagines darkness as a state of the soul—melding myth, emotion, and symbolism in a journey through eternity.
About Artist
Lucas Garcete
Lucas Garcete (b. 2000) is a Spanish visual artist whose monochrome practice merges staged silhouettes, atmospheric minimalism, and digital compositing to construct symbolic, tension-driven environments. His work investigates the space between presence and disappearance, using contralight and layered intervention to dissolve the human figure into archetype. Drawing from Gothic and Romantic sensibilities, Garcete creates visual narratives that examine mortality, erasure, and psychological thresholds. His images operate between fine-art abstraction and conceptual inquiry, offering meticulously crafted scenes where identity fractures, symbols emerge, and the viewer confronts the darker edges of human experience.
