METRO RAKEL | PARIS

METRO RAKEL | PARIS

Travelling on the Parisian metro line number 7 I have taken pictures with a long exposure while going in or out of the station, using the camera as a "Rakel" like Gerhard Richter in his rakel paintings.

INK

INK

After a stay in China I have explored various techniques with ink and it has become since then a recurrent feature in my work.

STONE PATTERNS

STONE PATTERNS

These are patterns I found on the table mountain in Cape Town and which I reworked into a black and white graphic picture. Since my first collection from South Africa I have added patterns from all over the world. The series one a prize at the Tokyo International Foto Awards 2019

SNOW | TREES

SNOW | TREES

Mountains and trees play an important role in my travels and discoveries. These series takes a look from above on winter landscapes with trees and snow patterns.

SNOW | MOUNTAINS

SNOW | MOUNTAINS

These photos reflect my interest in water, mountains and the constant change on the one hand, as well as the continuous constancy that both stand for. Water seems to be transformed into snow and small rock formations into mountains.

STAGE

STAGE

For this series I used the canvas like a stage for a theater play, where I arranged the movements of different materials and tools, inspired from various travels.
