As a painter I use some traditional tools of the trade as brushes, knives, acrylics, and oils, with my faithful companion, a Nikon D800, and my dear Mac. The final result is a fine art print.

My challenge is simple and yet difficult, to go beyond the anecdotal and the technical reproduction of the physical appearance, i.e. to elude "the pure reproducibility of a pure event" (Roland Barthes).

My current work is involved with "painting-based-on-photographs". There is a special choice for this, I like the essence of painting: the amazement and fear of the "blank canvas" when starting a creation vs. the cold an instantaneous click of the camera. In other words the "contingency" of the creative act which you may see in the paintings of Francis Bacon, Anselm Kieffer or Matisse.
