Snapshots
I am a painting
photographer. Painting is active photography.
What I do is inconspicuous. It's close to the natural perception
of the healthy physical body, where a veil of normality keeps everything
hidden. We've all been part of this reality, for as long as we can
remember. After studying the laws of colour, form, composition and
perspective, I am nothing more than a good painter. One out of many.
What is special about my work, is on the inside. And, if I'm lucky,
it procreates - from one inside to another. |
| Of
course I want to roam the bounderies, to see who else I could be.
Or, like in these snapshots, to seek the casual, so that I can come
to myself. But in the end, I want to make pictures to be used by anyone,
as a place to store one's own treasures. |
| I
want to hear the room breathe. To open up the water. To give my existence
to something yet to exist. |
| Perception is:
to create reality |
| Who masters the
rules, can bend them. One can learn to open things up, without breaking
them. |
| One has to learn
to listen, hear the silence breath, to feel how things come walking
in on their little socks. Cautiously, I learn how to do it. And then
I step into it, and make things new. |
