By pushing into the abstract in some cases or the hyper-realism in others, I aspire to creating images that challenge or, in the most extreme cases, subvert what we think we know about how what we call reality renders itself to us.

For me Art doesn't exist if one counts the time spending for the creation process. It is not about hours, minutes and seconds. It is about emotions, in search of the infinite detail and perfection, being spontaneous with mind and heart. Understand and to make only one with the universe. This is called "The Spirit of the Thing".

Photography speaks to us at a deeply human level about those things that are most important to us and touches our emotions. Love and connection are enduring themes that run through my work. This is because I see them as the primary motivators in our lives. They are our constant everyday link with eternity. My view is that fine-art photography exists to capture the eternal in the everyday. Those moments that transcend time and place and link us to the universe.
Being keenly aware of feelings that people have at different times in their life I use my editing to focus on the focus points of the photo that will draw them in and trigger an emotional attachment to it.
My journey as a digital artist started as a photographer seeing the world in a different way than most other people. My photographs I was told by some of my fellow photographers were not as perfect as they should be. They looked down at me for not going that extra distance to perfect them. Yet, the world itself is not perfect and so I thought my work was fine.
Dreams allow us to bypass rationality and tap into a deeper, universal language of emotions and symbols. Balancing this fluidity with intellectual and emotional engagement happens naturally when we trust the process. Subconscious imagery often carries its own internal logic, resonating with audiences without the need for explicit explanation.
The day when my consciousness reached the stage where I could consciously perceive feelings, when I understood that each of my works is born. Each one on its own with its own existence. Born, independent of space and time, to then live an existence detached from goal, time, purpose or content. Connected without being methodical. Without any connexion. In no way predictable and always surprisingly different than expected. Stylishness as a stylistic device.

I’ve always loved photography and nature and have been exposed to it from an early age. Cameras were and still are a big part of family get-togethers and vacations. Not having the traditional classroom learning of photography, I’ve read books and magazines through the years, today I utilize online programs to further my photography.
