About The Artwork
In the early eighties I photographed at the Medical Center of Mexico City petri dishes with bacterial colonies as covers for the magazine "Infectología" published by the Mexican Association of Infectology. Their diversity, color and beauty motivated me in 2020 to publish a few samples with their scientific identification. Since I don't have the knowledge to identify them I searched the data online. I found the American Society of Microbiology, which organizes since 2015 every year a competition of "Petri Art", where bacteria are used as dyes to paint figurative scenes. Their petri dishes display bodies, faces, flowers and plants in multiple colors. Sometimes the participants even emulate the stroke of Van Gogh and other world renown artists. Many bacterial colonies in their natural state are visually attractive besides being a tool to detect infectious diseases. To paint with bacteria is to ignore their amazing beauty. I present six examples of bacteria in their natural state to be appreciated not only by microbiologists. The 42 cm print comes in a limited edition of 9. Title, author and year of manufacture are included on the print. The print comes with a 1 cm white border. Made to order on archival cotton paper in 10 days plus shipping.

As an industrial photographer from Cologne, Germany, based since 1967 in Mexico City, I used my craft for decades to document scenes and subjects in sharp, detailed and well lit images. Back in the seventies, when simulating views of other planets, I was looking for a different perception of reality and found it with infrared color film. Today I enjoy a creative freedom similar to that of a painter. With the right combination of photograph and digital manipulation I can create images that are a tribute to imagination and beauty. Starting in 2019 I present on Saatchiart 15 collections as a synopsis of my photography, some digitally remastered and others digitally modified, for sale as archival inkjet prints in different sizes.
