Atist statement

As an artist, I feel that it is my duty to reveal the contrast between the harmonious relationship of the individual with nature, as opposed to the man-made, often artificial connections developed in the modern society. While my artworks speak for themselves, I want to present these issues from a different, unique angle, hoping to stop viewers and encourage them to think.

From the  NGV website:
"Be inspired by Salvador Dali and the Surrealists. Create your own surreal photograph and share it with us!
We are looking for original photographic images, made by you, which explore and celebrate the legacy of Salvador Dali and other surrealist artists. Searching for the Surreal Image is an open photography project, running throughout the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces Exhibition 'Salvador Dali: Liquid Desire'.
What is a Surreal Image?
The Surrealists used dream-like images and strange combinations to represent free unconscious thought."
