I like to create pictures that combine photography, painting, illustration, and graphics in a seamless photographic whole. I blur the distinctions between photography and paintings and stress the relevance of camera-generated images. In my graphic design, I have used a variety of approaches from classic collage and photo montage to multilayer computer-generated art. The resulting art reflects my inner imagination blazing into unique statements. When the viewer’s mind is opened by the conflict of very different visions held in a single image, the mindsets in motion deeper thoughts and moves further along the path of discovery.
