Bibiana Huang Matheis

Bibiana is originally from China, and now lives in New York.

I am completely balanced when I photograph, within my mind and with the world around me. A harmony between myself, my camera, and my subject is not only essential to my artistic process, but to the photographs as well. To truly capture the essence of a subject, there must exist an understanding and a respect for its being. Whether i photograph people, places, still-lives or nature,I carry this philosophy with me, and even try to find this intimacy in the simple, unassuming, inanimate subjects.

Whether of China, Japan, India, or the pond right by my home in New York, my recent work directs the lens toward a feeling of serenity. With these photographs I hope to create spaces in which we can be at peace.
