Artist Statement
All objects and spaces in the spectrum of our universe have light, parts, colors, dimensions and vibrations that we normally don’t consider. For example, we don’t reflect on the springs and gears when we look at a clock. Nor do we notice everything is moving in an empty room. For thousands of years, every object and space created in our minds were locked away as existing truths. However, recently we have began to untie those truths and contemporarily, my works are created as our reminder that nothing is what it seems in our world of absolute unknowns. I bring my vision through the manipulation of photography. This began eleven years ago when I focused my specialization in photomontage. With just a camera and a scanner I observed the world, from Bahrain to Spain, from Venezuela to Seattle. Now, I have become more stationary and create through a complex process of drawing, photography and manipulation of my images. On my journey through life I began to understand that our humanity is passing in a time of conscious evolution. I observe this change and my works speak of this evolution. Historically, my hope is to aid us with tribute and remembrance of the battles, confusions, and triumphs that come hand and hand with our new reality and universal world. These feelings and thoughts are key to the development of my works. Each singular work is a connected piece of the whole, creating a various and textured picture of our world. By following my rules of light and composition, I begin photographing the montage. After the photography is complete, I bind together all of the separate images into a coherent piece. My works are normally of two formats: Abstract construction or concrete development. These formats were founded on my belief in natural development through external stimuli and internal re-observation of these stimuli. All these concepts united together create my celebration of the photomontage technique in today’s art scene.Click on an image below for more detail.
