Tale of the blue pear - Chapter 3 - In the palace

Inspired by my childhood dreams and further encouraged with my lifelong love for nature and animals, I wanted to create worlds where animals exist as equal characters, as narrators of a modern fairy tale, who share with us the same environment.
By creating peaceful, strange and even humorous situations and twisted animal habitat sceneries which exist somewhere between material world and imagination I want to share my dreamscapes and visions, and offer a visual escape from harsh and often cruel reality.

By creating complex photomontages I found the way to show realistic sceneries of  imaginable realities. It is a long and complicated process of carefully selecting and stitching hundreds of photographs, which I've been taking over the course of 15 years and then combining them digitally with illustration and digital painting.

The moment I took those photographs, they captured something relevant for  that specific time and place, and by using them in another context and time, I think of them as a recyclable material. They start to exist as part of a new world,  in my visual interpretations existing somewhere between real life and imagination.
