Artist’s Statement:
I use photography as a means of self-expression. The most important quality of a photograph, as in all of art, is to evoke an emotional response. I prefer to capture surrealistic moments when I can, the play of light and colours and unusual situations as they unfold. As a passionate runner, being aware of my surroundings tends to produce some surprise scenes instead of forcing an image of time with my camera.
Troupe is a photo of mannequins
double exposed on an acrylic painting by the artist. It is faceless,
genderless, raceless and yet bound together in a moment of celebration of
colours and art.
