Accomplished in virtually all media from traditional to digital, he has produced a body of fine art ranging from contemporary works to impressionistic landscapes to prints and portraits. Dimitry's latest work is Metaspace, a series of unique contemporary observations that combines abstract and realist genres to create a new form of expression. From an early age Dimitry was inspired to create art by his grandmother, an internationally-acclaimed miniaturist whose subjects included European royalty, the Rockefellers and the Whitneys, and whose works are displayed at The National Gallery, The Merriweather Post Gallery and The Windsor Court. After graduating with a degree in marine biology Dimitry was engaged by The Gulf of Maine Aquarium to illustrate their exhibits and his work led to assignments from National Wildlife, Random House, Columbia Press, Macmillan, McGraw-Hill, Simon & Schuster and Scientific American.With a growing reputation for artistic renderings of technical subjects, Dimitry launched his career as an illustrator and designer. Already a professional artist, he attended Parsons School of Design to study under the artist and master draftsman David Passalaqua who has had a lasting impact on Dimitry's work. Bringing a powerful artistic sensibility to his work as an illustrator and designer, Dimitry has executed work for Adobe, IBM and Cablevision as well as organizations such as the Audubon Society, Harper & Row, the Harvard University Press and Smithsonian. For The New York Times, Dimitry was a long-time contributor of dramatic full-page illustrations for the front of the paper's award-winning Science Times section.Dimitry's innovation in fine art and multiple graphic media is anchored by his mastery of draftsmanship. Throughout his career, Dimitry has maintained a passionate focus on fine art and has produced diverse works commissioned by a range of clients. Today, Dimitry operates his gallery and studio in Sea Cliff, New York and also serves as an Adjunct Professor of art at the State University of New York. Schidlovsky, Dimitry (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 432 pages. Ex-libraryThe deep sea is teeming with life, most of which has gone unseen by human eye s. Scientists are beginning to explore this fascinating realm of unusual sea cre atures and volatile volcanos, using once-secret military technology now freed up by the end of the Cold War. See the timeline for a short history of this. In th e Universe Below, William Broad takes a fresh look at this recent surge of explo ration and discovery, and brings his readers along on some of his journeys into the deep. In 1993, author William Broad joined scientists on a two-week expediti on off the Oregon/Washington coast. Their aim was to examine the Juan de Fuca Ri dge and to study how volcanic heat spawns life on the ocean floor. The crew voya ged 250 miles off-shore on a 210-feet long carrier ship, The Atlantis II, which each day lowered three members 1.5 miles into the deep via Alvin, a 25-feet long submersible vessel. n* * * nLinks Meet Alvin nGarden of Eden nChimneys of the D eep Sea nA Brief Chronology of Sea Exploration n n* * * nPulitzer Prize winner W illiam J. Broad takes us on an epic journey to the planet's last and most exotic frontier -- the depths of the sea.

Broad takes us o n breathtaking dives and expeditions -- to the Azores, to the Titanic., to hot springs teeming with bizarre life, to icy fissures aswarm with gulper eels, vamp ire squids, and gelatinous beasts longer than a city bus.
