A forest panorama in green dance. "Matrix Motion" is a conceptual journey through structure and order. The composition of the picture emphasizes the rhythmic arrangement of the trees, which appear to be moving. They are spaced at regular intervals, their trunks forming geometric patterns reminiscent of a matrix. At the same time, the technique of shooting gives the image a living, breathing dimension that breaks the static order and fills the image with energy and depth. The green ranges from dark to light shades, creating a harmonious symphony of nature.

I combine photography and nature to create images that speak a silent and mystical yet haunting language. I prefer realistic images that appear natural and subtle and represent landscapes without alterations in order to remind the viewer of the beauty of nature without detours via abstraction. I describe myself as a “light painter”. I capture the subtle nuances of light to create works that show the beauty and depth of nature in a unique form of artistic expression. I mainly use a large-format analog camera to immerse in the deep silence of nature to capture a genuine vision of reality.
