Artist Statement:
............ a journey in
which each image tells a story
through colors and shapes and
tones of gray; a journal of
sensations and feelings
through the path of natural
environments; a tribute to the
vision of Earth and the beauty
of her elements.
What I intend to create is not
an image descriptive of a
specific place, rather, an
abstract image depicting a
specific feeling that place
emanates.
Using the camera like a brush
to make the subjects move on a
flat sheet of photographic
paper, I celebrate a moment in
which life is an instant in
light, a moment in time. That
moment is a glimpse of
fascinating beauty drawing the
fragile line of our existence.
