Exhibiting @TheOtherArtFair
It is very nice when somebody comes to your exhibition. It is particularly nice when the interest is shown by the younger generation of viewers.

Thus the photograph presented here depicts the iconic landscape of Colombian highlands with the strong diagonals of the…
Photography as an ‘Environmental Practice’ @MuseumModernArt
Photographs in essence depict the effects of reflected light falling from the fragments of reality.
