ARTIST STATEMENT
My visual art falls into two categories: “the world as seen” and the “world reimagined.” The former includes traditional candid street photographs, still-life compositions, detailed close-up images of natural and human-made subjects barely discernible to the human eye, and expansive landscapes that inspire a sense of the sublime.
My “world reimagined” artwork consists of photo-based abstracts and composites transformed through digital tools and techniques. I often blend architectural, infrastructure, and technological images with human and natural elements. The resulting work is an invitation to explore alternative realities filled with mystery, suspense, and surprise as viewers navigate between “what is” and “what if” and between the predictable and the unpredictable.
