"We are confronted daily by countless visual stimulations, which force us to select among quantities of 'image-informations'.

The essential point in my artistic work is to show a ‘moment’ of a very intensive glance that focuses on details.
Through the combination of real pictures and computerized objects, new images are created.
This way, the onlooker is confronted with two ‘image-worlds’ that eventually become one.
At first sight everything looks clear and obvious.
At a closer look , trying to understand better, the onlooker starts to reflect about his own perceptions.
His visual habits, when looking at things, are confronted with new dimensions."
