Abstract landscapes
Photos create worlds of their own, they are frameworks in which forms and objects are ordered, relate to each other, and are placed in a new suggestive connection.
My recent work consists of color images of trees and water. In a strict sense there is no question of 'landscapes' since no total image or overview of an area is displayed.
Because the subject is photographed up close and full screen there is no reference to the surroundings, and the image becomes detached from its original context.
When selecting and photographing a subject I work intuitively. The result is not so much a display of a specific place or topic, but my personal interpretation of it. Although the resulting images show parts from reality, essentially they are abstract. More than a photographic reproduction of reality, the photos are unique and subjective interpretations.
