Cristian Townsend

I was born in Sheffield in 1972. My familymoved to Australia when I was 2. I now live in Western Australia but have lived in South Korea and the Czech Republic. I have been taking photographs since I was very young.I love the way technology helps merge different forms of art. Buddhism and Surrealism are my main influences.I have worked in the photographic and graphics industry. I've always been interested in dark and visionary fantasy. Art that questions reality. Surealism is a big influence as are artists as diverse as Goya, Francis Bacon, DeSade, William Burroughs, Joel Peter Witkin, H.R Giger etc

I have a degree in Communications from Edith Cowan University.st,
