artist statement


i am a travel photographer on a journey into the realms of dreams, visions and trances.  I try to take photos of border lands, where realities blend and melt into each other. My images are simply a reflection of this journey. Postcards from the path, so to speak.


i am heavily influenced by the magic realist world of African and Latin American writers, where the lines between dreams, visions, nightmares and what we call reality are not as rigid and not as clear. A world where reality and dreams intermix and coexist.


i am also greatly influenced by religious imagery from all spiritual paths, especially the esoteric and mystic veins. It is in honor of the beauty of life, the divinity in us all and the pure joy of creating that i create these images.
