Artwork

My enthusiasm for vivid colors has always been a dominant force in my life, and I enjoy expressing this in my images, at the same time aiming at conveying serenity and harmony… a contemplation of peace and wholeness.

Statement

“What delights us in visible beauty is the invisible.”
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach (1830-1916)
 
In my work, I am pursuing both the visible beauty, which I find abundantly in nature, and the invisible, which we can glimpse occasionally. My camera has become the main instrument in this pursuit. From the start, I dreamed of using it not only as a recording device but also as a painter’s brush, filling the film with glorious colors, intriguing forms, inspiring abstracts.

My enthusiasm for vivid colors has always been a dominant force in my life, and I enjoy expressing this in my images, at the same time aiming at conveying serenity and harmony… a contemplation of peace and wholeness.

The works in this exhibit have one thing in common: They start as 35 mm photographs, macro photo montages or multiple exposures. Some of the images then are transformed—sometimes to the point of becoming completely unrecognizable—into dreamscapes, fantasies, otherworldly creatures or painterly abstracts.
