Artistic statement
I am an artist that identifies himself to the work and
let himself
Act and react to it. It's a form of interaction while
I am working on the images
With my computer. My works deal with contradictions. I
switch from digital work to conceptual audiovisual
installations
The computer is my brush. Pixels are my paint.
My works have an essence of fragmentation and bright
colours
I enjoy the interplay of oppositions through layering
of experiences. My digital works depend on the
dramatic portrayal of colour, shadow and environment
to create their mood and sense of surrealism I love
the idea of the viewer finishing the unknown parts of
the story; the work then becomes more personal to the
spectator

I try to create a world of surrealism on my images
combining progressive digital techniques with
An inherent knowledge of traditional Photography.
