Artist Statement

There is a Japanese proverb that says that a work of art is more interesting if it only shows a part and not the whole. This proverb has influenced my work greatly. Also, because I am a curious person, I am interested in how people learn. Regarding where I fit into the history of photography, William Eggleston has been a great influence besides the classical photographers, such as Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Paul Strand. Other fine art influences are contemporary photographers, painters (modern and classic), architecture (especially art nouveau), music and languages.

Recent bodies of work are from Arizona, California, Florida, New Mexico, New York, Texas, San Miguel de Allende, Barcelona, Greece and Germany. Matted, signed prints on archival paper are available.

I make my images with natural light only and using a manual camera. Special effects using computers, filters or additional automatic equipment are not used. My approach to photography is based on multi-intelligence theory.

As an artist, I try to catch some of the many pictures that I see around me. I love to learn about a place through learning its language, its culture, its natural beauty and to tell about it through the camera lens. This is why most of my images use natural light only and are made using a manual camera. Special effects using computers, filters or additional automatic equipment are not used.
