As an artist I’m inspired to explore and create surreal photo manipulations as a means of expressing my imagination, pushing the boundaries of reality, and offering a unique perspective on the world around me.

Creating one image can sometimes take minutes, sometimes hours, and sometimes days! There are artworks that I left unfinished for months before going back to finalize them.

Here’s how my creative process goes: first, conceptualization: I first come up with an idea or concept for the artwork I want to create, which could be based on a theme, emotion, or visual inspiration. Then, image selection: I’ll then select the images I want to use in my artwork. These could be photographs I have taken myself, stock images, or a combination of both. Later, composition: Using photo editing software, I’ll then manipulate and arrange the images to create the desired composition for my artwork. This may involve adjusting lighting, color, contrast, and other visual elements to create a cohesive look and feel. Then, editing: Once the composition is complete, I may add additional elements such as text, graphics, or special effects to enhance the visual impact of the artwork. And finally, the final touches: I’ll then make any final adjustments to the artwork before exporting it as a final image file.

Throughout the process, I may experiment with different techniques and approaches to achieve the desired visual result and may iterate on the artwork multiple times until I’m satisfied with the final outcome.

All of my manipulations are of the same importance to me, I don’t really have a favorite one. To me, it’s a combination of emotional connection, technical achievement, conceptual resonance, and audience response that makes a piece unique.

I like to create works that are intended to evoke a particular emotion or mood in the viewer, such as joy, sadness, or contemplation. Through the use of color, composition, and subject matter, I hope to inspire a specific emotional response in my audience.

Other times I simply create works that are intended to be visually appealing or beautiful, without necessarily conveying a specific message or emotion. In these cases, I hope that the viewer gains a deeper appreciation for the beauty of the world around them.

And lastly, I would like to tell the readers that learning is a lifelong process and there is always something new to discover and explore. It's important to keep an open mind and embrace opportunities to expand our knowledge and understanding of the world around us. We all have unique perspectives and experiences that can enrich the lives of those around us, so it's important to share our knowledge and ideas with others. Additionally, it's important to be kind, empathetic, and understanding towards others, as we all have our own struggles and challenges to face. Let's continue to learn, grow, and connect with one another, and make the world a better place in whatever small ways we can. In the meantime, I hope you will enjoy this tasteful selection of my work.
