BOGDAN ATER is a Greek-Romanian photographer,  born in Bucharest in 1980. When he was 9 years' old, he received his first camera from his uncle, who also gave him the first photography lessons and introduced him to the art of photography. In 1995, at only 15 years' old, he held an individual exhibition at the Bucharest Music Conservatory, which comprised 24 photographs, entitled "The Life of the Romanian Peasant".

In 1998, he began his studies at the Fine Arts Academy of Bucharest, and in 2000 he was one of the founders of the MATCA Cultural Foundation. As a MATCA member,  he later exhibits at the Museum of the Romanian Peasant a series of 16 photographs entitled "The Modern Peasant - the Loss of Traditions".

In 2004, he lived for a short period of time in Lisbon. The  Cultural Magazine "Diaspora" publishes several paintings by him, under the pseudonym Emil Gabor (E.G.), of the painting series "Syntology", later exhibited at the Gallery of the Townhouse of Lisbon.

In 2005, he held a painting exhibition at the "Cafe Cultural cem Medos" in Lisbon.

In 2006, he exhibited  at the Boa Vista Gallery in Lisbon, a collection of photographs and paintings under the title of  "La Celda". One of these works was published by the Fine Arts Magazine Niram Art, No.6, Nov. 2006.

Beginning with February 2008, he is the director of Madrid  - Arts and Culture Magazine. He presently lives in Madrid.

His latest project, ATER MUNDUS, offers a different vision on interior design - from mural art, art photography for high-quality prints, statues and decorative objects to the uniquely designed ATER & NIRAM art furniture, based on a combination of painting, sculpture and craftsmanship. Creating truly artistic objects which serve as furniture, each ATER & NIRAM piece is handmade and combines enduring construction and original design. All ATER & NIRAM pieces are in wood and leather and ornamented by hand with paintings and sculptures. The result is luxurious museum-like state of the art furniture, for the most enthusiastic art lover.
