It can be said that the landscape motif is one of the most popular subjects of photographic art. Landscape motif does not require instant reaction and presence on the spot at the right moment, but above all conceptualizing and reflecting on the motif, in order for the motif to enter the camera in the best way and create a lasting image of unusual beauty. This was the case in analog time, but also in digital. Nature, however, is so rich in pixels (not to mention the atmosphere, the flicker of air, smells, countless valeries, sounds ...) that "capturing" all the pictorial wealth it provides requires a personal commitment not only to nature but to the camera .

Robert Sipek possesses such double enthusiasm; each selected landscape image clearly speaks of his skill in observing the dynamics of change that nature alone can provide, and to translate his observations into the poetics of a unique and unique photographic image.
