The World as I See it

This event took place on May 3, 2021. See upcoming events in Vero Beach.

As much as we all have been stuck home for months due to Covid 19, plan to stop in and see Jim Kalupa's show, 'The World As I See It' an exciting show of his world travels. Jim has pursued two passions throughout his life, travel and photography, covering much of the world always with camera in hand. As a result, much of his work is travel inspired. Although Jim studied photography formally in the 1980s, career obligations required his full attention. However, after completing a business career of over forty years he became completely dedicated to his photo art which he views as a constantly evolving challenge. His work is in galleries, art exhibitions, public and business venues and private collections coast to coast.

Jim enjoys a great deal of variety in most aspects of life and that is reflected not only in his choice of subject matter but also in his eclectic style. A style that is supported by today's digital picture processing which enables artistic expression, limited only by the photographer's imagination and creativity. It is 21st century art. And this suits Jim ideally as he often undertakes a metamorphosis of photographic imagery with fine art and other effects. The results run a gamut of images "slightly tweaked" for exposure and clarity to those liberally and artistically enhanced; images that are sharp and vibrant to others that are subdued with watercolor overtones. He calls his work "photo art" and observers are often reminded that they are viewing enhanced photography and not another art form.
