Synthetic power Photograph - Limited Edition of 7

I am a self-portrait artist who explores the idea of liberation of the mind from the established stereotypes and expectations that encompass all areas of our lives. I depict characters who seem emotionally unresolved in a world that appears to be shut down, however still remain connected with themselves in their own reality. I photograph my own stock images and create the composition in Photoshop, where I am able to manipulate the light to establish the visual mood and a surrealistic feel. I often don’t have the entire idea planned, I do rely on my subconscious to refine the final composition for an open-ended feel which requires the active role of the viewer in completing the story.  I am passionate about storytelling and my artwork is a reflection of my personal process of discovery. There is an utter sense of freedom in that moment of beauty that exists in the world of darkness, loneliness and isolation.
