Donn Delson has been an entrepreneur for most of his professional life.
Donn has successfully founded, built, and sold numerous businesses, including the world’s fourth-largest entertainment merchandising company representing many of the world’s top music acts.
In 2011, he began to focus his artistic efforts on creating large-scale aerial images shot from “doors off” helicopters around the world, at heights up to 12,000 feet, over two miles above the Earth.
His fine art limited edition works have been featured in major art shows and fairs internationally. Represented by a number of exceptional galleries, his large-scale work enjoys an extensive and loyal, private and corporate collector base worldwide.
“I present my work on a large scale in order to allow the viewer to immerse themselves in the experience and share the feeling of being up there with me, unencumbered, looking out onto the magnificence of our world.”
As Donn’s travels have carried him throughout the world, from Japan to The Netherlands, England to Israel, and across the United States, he has discovered colors, patterns, and symmetry, both natural and man-made, that appear so different from their land-based reality that without close observation, are often abstract and unrecognizable. These images take on an entirely new identity, paving the way for a transformative experience, and allowing collectors to see the world from an entirely unique perspective.
“I present my work on a large scale in order to allow the viewer to immerse themselves in the experience and share the feeling of being up there with me, unencumbered, looking out onto the magnificence of
our world.”
“Donn Delson is an aerial photographer with the eye of a painter and the heart of an adventurer.”
