The science and art of light are my sources of inspiration. Curiosity, discovery, imagination, creativity and discipline transform my dreams into reality.
The artworks on this site represent a wide range of media in the creation of Lumia. My formal art education includes a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Experimental Studios from Syracuse Univeristy in 1972. A curriculum vitae is available by email through stadnik@erols.com . From 1976 - 1984, I designed and built a Lumiagraph Studio in Worcester, MA. The studio housed a 10'x 12' x 8' light-tight room, a camera obscura of sorts. In there, I created still image compositions using discarded industrial optics - dichroic glass, lenses, diffraction gratings, liquids with optical properties and a variety of light sources - tungsten, halogen, laser and even sunlight and moonlight to create Lumia compositions that were then recorded as direct, one of a kind, still images onto large sheets of CibaChrome film. Lumiagraphis were exhibited in Boston, New York and London. Today, they can be found in private and corporate collections around the world.
My original inspiration for this lifetime of work was a Lumia composition, created by Thomas Wilfred called Opus 158, which I saw as an art student in 1968, at MOMA in New York City.
