Renaissance Portraits

Renaissance Portraits is a portfolio of photographs made from re-photographing reproductions of 15th and 16th century paintings with the focusing ring set at infinity.

The resulting blur investigates the nature of perception: the eye continually tries to resolve these images, but is unable to do so.  It is my hope that, in the moment of visual confusion ... >>> continue

FLIGHT 

I believe that we choose our own destiny.     I would say a freedom is our birthright.   A free will is given to us whether we want it or not.  Children happily accept themselves as they are, with no doubt. They insist: I have come to this world with unlimited abilities! ... >>> continue

TRACES

We are all in motion, a constant migration, inevitable.

It is the human condition. Whatever is still is dead.

Everything circulates, has its cycle, its beginning and end, and then begins again. A vortex in which everything is mixed, where to be hybrid is the only possible form. We can’t be anchored to a fixed identity, ... >>> continue

Fermynwoods Wild Flower Project 2009

- color photograms on black and white paper

Staying in a cottage directly besides a wildflower meadow in summer 2009 I wanted to preserve the plants individuality and singularity around me directly and fast with very poor instruments. I decided to use the simple photogram process from early times of photography when Fox Talbot did his photogenic drawings ... >>> continue

Shortly after moving to Los Angeles 10 years ago, I began to photographs the different parts of the city with the attempt to understand the seeming chaos.

During those years of wondering, I have discovered a side of Los Angeles that exists beyond its cliché of Hollywood and Disneyland. Many people come to Los Angeles in quest for a paradise and a new life. Therefore, dream and reality often create intriguing juxtapositions and contradictions, ... >>> continue

RUPTURE

The series RUPTURE examines the urban landscape in Sofia, Bulgaria with the premise that metaphors about city and about Bulgaria consistently visualize themselves in the public and semi-public spaces. The high degree of chaos and neglect ... >>> continue

Dechirer is the final phase of the project on a wedding dress called ‘Desire’. To some it is “just a story of a wedding which did not happen”. To me it is a story about life, and how external factors, objects, people influence our choices and attitudes.
In the era where documentary photography  is abundant ... >>> continue

Nylon Chrysalis

Late one evening back in 1989, I stumbled upon a strange assemblage of wooden planks crisscrossing the façade of a small lot situated between two vacant historic buildings on one of the main streets of my hometown of Toronto. Within the shadows of the city’s glow, it appeared as an organic growth of ... >>> continue

One of the great teachers in this lineage, Drukpa Kunley, never went anywhere without his dog.  Animals gather around and are protected by spiritual masters. .... >>> continue

INDUSTRIAL MEMORIES

This project came about because a fellow artist who used the facility to have steel pieces fabricated for him told me about this place. It was a place that I went to explore for a couple of years whenever I did not have any commercial assignments.

Founded in 1918, Jersey City Welding specializes in custom steel fabrication roll work. They have outlived their competitors, many of whom folded during sagging economic or post-modern expansion. They survive on unique, custom piece work for the architectural and steel fabrication industry. .... >>> continue

Evanescence

The forest always stands there, motionless, in total stillness.

This is the image I have always had of the forest.

Yet, while continuing to make my way through the folds of trees deep inside the forest, it has dawned upon me that the forest is, ...
