Digital fine art photography

The artist uses mixed media, where digital photography meets paint, where inspiration meets skill and craftsmanship, to create uniquely original vibrant compositions.

Central Theme: Legacy

The concept of legacy, that which connects past, present and future, is central throughout Nissim Men’s body of work.

Distinction is made in three categories:

Legacy of Free Spirit - Symbolic Art Photography

Legacy of Emotions - People Portraits

Legacy of Time & Place - City Portraits

Conceptual Thoughts
The category “Legacy of Free Spirit” are works that represent the personal legacy of the artist’s spirit and vision.

The remaining two categories of Legacy compositions are journeys through the visual storytelling of:

-emotional moments in someone’s life

-highlights in the life of an organization/institution/company

-a city’s life in one detailed portrait which captures its essence: A walk along its impressive buildings, its prominent places.
