A multilayered image the brings my world, on the Eastern shore of the Atlantic in the United States together with the western shore of the Atlantic in Portugal, where my future lies.I used 3 images to achieve the results using photos in the same way a painter uses their palette.
Art became important to me at an early age with an interest in photography. I graduated in 1983 from the BFA Program in Photography at the Maryland Institute College of Art which introduced him to the work and philosophies of influential artists: Irving Penn’s quality of light; Cartier-Bresson’s composition, use of space, and "the decisive moment”; Pete Turner, who felt that the transparency was not the end product, but just the beginning; and lastly Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings of flowers and nature were a revelation, inspiring me to look closer at the hidden beauty of the natural world.
