City Strolls (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Each city possesses its own distinct history and character. My city portraits amalgamate the myriad impressions, discoveries, and events of a locale into a singular tableau. Drawing inspiration from the cityscapes of the 17th and 18th centuries, albeit within a contemporary context, my compositions incorporate elements of street art, public installations, advertising signage, and commercial districts, serving as symbols of everyday urban life. Utilizing an array of digital fusion and collage techniques, my individual images offer contemporary cityscapes that oscillate between documentation and theatrical presentation.
