Evgen Angel Bavčar was born on the 2th of October 1946 in Lokavec near Ajdovščina. He is a photographer and a writer of personal narrative prose, accompanying texts to literary works and professional philosophical treatises, especially in the field of aesthetics.

His approach to photography is distinctive, multilayered and inextricably linked to philosophical reflection on the essence and origin of images. He describes himself not as a photographer but a conceptual artist. He creates images based on impressions of the world he remembers from his childhood and on his experience of the world through his other senses. He starts from his imagination, or the world he sees with his third eye, and then uses the technique of photography to create a physical image.

Bavčar's photographs are diverse in their subject matter. He started with portraits and landscapes during his studies, and today his regular subjects are self-portraiture, portraiture, nudes and landscapes. For him, photography is a reflection on images, technical skills, the meaning of photography and photography in philosophy. (Luka Pavlin)
