"The Treachery of Images," René Magritte's iconic painting,questioned the nature of representation nearly a century ago. Today, digital tools like Photoshop and Dall-E have further blurred the line between representation and reality. As our world becomes inundated with manipulated and artificially generated images, Magritte's message is more relevant than ever. I have composed windows from a few buildings, Dall-E generated windows and Edward Hopper paintings, which inspired the original series, into buildings which look real but do not exist.

Matty Karp Photographer Israel matty@concordventures.com Following a successful career in management and Venture Capital I turned to Photography. I studied Art's history and philosophy and attended numerous workshops. I try to create photos that have direct visual impact that engages the spectator seducing him to closely observe them and hopefully stimulate a thought process. I have won numerous prizes in international photography contests. These include 3 Gold,3 Silver,15 Bronze and 128 Honorable Mentions in International Photography Awards (IPA),PX3,One Eyeland, Photographers Forum, Color
