His photographic work is a very subjective interpretation of his own perception.
Not only to convey contents, but that, what is behind the surface, not only to show faces, but what they have to tell, not only to portray
landscapes, but make us feel the emotions they radiate.
…he works without big technical means and without computer manipulation. His work reminds me of the work of filmmakers like Lars von Trier
or Jim Jarmusch - artists that he knows and appeciates.
„We have to discover the „spirit“ of the moment“ he describes his intention. „Not only to wander through life as a spectator‚ but as a part of
it and trying to understand it“.
His photographs discover in an impressionant way our common roots as humans.“
