Answer by Diana Cre\u021bu:<\/p>\n

I instantly thought of Chema Madoz<\/b>. He is a 57 years old Spanish photographer. I discovered him randomly many years ago, and I've been a fan of his works ever since. <\/p>\n

His  photographs show a lot of simplicity, he combines or alters everyday  objects in unexpected, yet surprisingly meaningful ways, the result  being photographs that are almost <\/i>surreal. They make me stop and think for a while, they make me ponder the nature of the reality that we perceive. I wish I could think up these marvelous ideas.<\/p>\n
