Nik Barte is the photographer that undoubtedly speaks the language of the desert. In fact, the outstandingly profound visual exploration of Nature and the thoroughly authentic aesthetic study of the Sahara Desert define the cardinal elements of his personal artistic signature as a photographer.

desARTification is an ongoing art project composed of photographs made by Barte in the Sahara desert over a period of almost twenty years. Structured soundly upon the concepts of love and infinite respect for Mother Nature, desARTification literally stands for “desert turned into Art”.

SENSES is an exhibition project created as part of desARTification, a story that has its origin in a sacred place, the Desert. Silent vibrant tales of distant dunes that have travelled just like magical postcards in order to tell us the stories and legends about the forgotten secrets of life. SENSES, written by light and shades, sand and wind, a delicate narrative about the pure, precious and divine Beauty of Mother Nature.
