Description Title: 'Causam Ignorantes UrbisIncendiumTunc.'Then they do not know the cause of the burning of the city.(However, we know....)Creation Date: 29 December 2019.Copyright 2019 Nawfal Johnson All Rights Reserved.Series: Fire Portraits (2016 - Present).Artist's Note: I felt that the text from Historian, Giraldi Cambrensis, was very appropriate for this Fire Portrait, of a fiery demon (of some sort): 'Causam Ignorantes UrbisIncendiumTunc.'[Then they do not know the cause of the burning of the city]. However, such destruction can only come from some Evil source: and thus, the source of this disaster is known And its name is 'Evil'.Source: De instructione principisopus est scriptorisGiraldi Cambrensis.'Having thus demonstrated his usefulness, Gerald was selected to accompany theArchbishop of Canterbury,Baldwin of Forde, on a tour of Wales in 1188, the object being a recruitment campaign for theThird Crusade. His account of that journey, theItinerarium Cambriae(1191) was followed by theDescriptio Cambriaein 1194.' (Wikipedia)'Giraldus Cambrensis, also calledGerald Of Wales, orGerald De Barri, (bornc.1146, Manorbier Castle,Pembrokeshire, Walesdiedc.1223), archdeacon of Brecknock, Brecknockshire (11751204), and historian, whose accounts of life in the late 12th century stand as a valuable historical source.'

Nawfal Johnson, Malaysia Member Since September 2006 Artist Statement IMAGEKIND: ARTIST BIO — Nawfal Johnson — Smokephotographist Beginnings: When I pick up my camera ... when I compose the subjects in the frame ... and, when I plan and set up my lighting, I have one thing in mind — To take a better photograph than the last time.
I have been using a camera as a hobbyist since I was 12 years old, and then as a freelance professional since 1998.
Photography is a Madness for Me — My Work: I have been a long-time Freelance Stage & Dance Photographer; nevertheless, I focus much of my energy designing fine art Abstract, and, Abstract Expressionism Photography. I also design SMOKE-ART PHOTOGRAPHY, and that is the art style I focused on in my 2011 book, titled, ETHEREAL DREAMS and HOPE.
My Artistic Influences: My main artistic influences are Jackson Pollock and Robert Henri. As for photographic influences, I have always drawn inspiration from photographers Carl Fischer, and Andreas Feininger.
