“In his black-and-white pictures, Oliver Merce tries to make the unseen seen, to interpret a vast range of gray shades. He attempts to translate this hidden, abstract thing called faith – more discreet than a mustard seed – into visual language. Through detailed close-ups alternating with wide-angle scenes, he tries to piece together the mystery of the indecipherable.” – Voicu Bojan
