My Artist Statement

The saying “you need to think outside the box” is flawed, because if there is that box, then your imagination will never be truly free. As a photographic artist, my aim is to explore the boundaries of reality and imagination through the fusion of multiple images and elements. I believe that the process of combining disparate elements into a single, cohesive work is not just a technical exercise, but a means of telling a story and communicating an idea.

I am inspired by the way that Caravaggio and Vermeer are able to focus the viewer on the subject of their art by the use of light and that changed the way I work. Dali made me realise that if you can imagine it, you can create it. Through my work, I strive to create dreamlike and surreal environments, exploring the intersections between the familiar and the strange. I am drawn to the idea of taking elements from different times and places, and bringing them together in new and unexpected ways. My art is a reflection of the world as I see it: a place where anything is possible, where the boundaries of time and space can be blurred, and where reality and fantasy can coexist. I am always searching for ways to bring a sense of wonder and magic to my work.

Ultimately, my aim is to create images that are not just aesthetically pleasing, but also emotionally resonant. I want my art to transport the viewer to a different place, and to evoke a sense of wonder and possibility. 

Through my art, I hope to inspire others to imagine new possibilities, and to see the world in new and unexpected ways. I create series of themed images, each to usher the viewer into the sacred arena that is my imagination, challenging them to fantasize about a magical space that is the theatre of art.
