Photomanipulation 3rd place winner

Whimsical desert like landscapes as a complex framework where the mind operates. That is what I am seeing by observing surreal paintings such as Dali’s, which inspired this work. The mind is a delicate dance of Chemistry. It is both a product and reflection of Nature.

I create digital composites that embody two traits I have: I’m a pragmatist and a dreamer. I’m fascinated by forces of nature and the human body. I have an urge to understand how life and nature works; that same urge pushed me to complete a M.Sc degree in Chemistry. I’m moved by observing natural phenomena and human interactions. I tend to create imagery with a “darker feel” to shed light on mysteries that are unknown to us; the connection of human emotion to natural process. I also tend to play with elements of sexuality and perceived taboos.
