Intro Interview
Picasso once said, “you don’t make art, you find it.” Where do you find your art?
I find art in reinterpreting / representing peculiar things I find in our shared built environment
From an idea to its materialization: How do you approach your work?
I often start by sketching. This is the quickest way to explore ideas quickly. Once an idea materializes, I think of the practical process involved in creating the work. What tools do I need? What assets do I need to start with to bring together an image? Next is plenty of experimentation to land on a final image.
What is your favorite book?
My favorite book is "Flow" It is a mindset I live by.
Which artist would you like to have coffee with and what would you discuss?
I would like to have coffee with Wes Anderson to understand how is story telling techniques developed.
How did you get into art?
I got into art through exploration. I first started photography to document my explorations of abandoned factories and off-limits rooftops.
Who are the people in your surroundings that influence you?
I was very influenced by my education in Architecture. It gave me a unique approach to photography and visual art, and more importantly the process of creating.
Imagine you have a time machine. Where would you go?
With a time machine I would go back to the 1920s to see these art deco skyscrapers how they were when they opened.
Other than art, what are you most passionate about?
I am passionate about exploring the world around me, and passionate about music as a way to unwind.
What are you working on right now?
Currently, I am working on putting together a large format photo book of the Highrises Collection.
