Statement
A digital photography is a light picture and a data image, an icon, a foil of a pictorial perception. Photography is material of different substances. That always means something provisional.
In order to arrive at new points of view, it sometimes helps to destroy familiar ways of seeing in the figurative sense. For me as an artist, for example, I am destroying a previously recorded photographic image through transformation, that is, through a new algorithmic order structure, in order to arrive at a new order of sight and perspective after a new order.
I am developing autonomous artworks that exist as a virtual reality in a realistic photography. It is a transformation of real objects into abstract objects, the transformation of the concrete image into an abstract artwork, an abstract autonomous photographic artwork. In terms of content, I am concerned with topics of contemporary society and topics of philosophy and mythology.
