INTENSIONS

​

Curiosity for visual motifs. Fun and motivation through self-study. Searching, searching, searching—and sometimes finding! Enjoyment of technology and equipment. Yet it is always about the motifs—less about artistic design or technical effects.

​

Motifs can be found everywhere; the spectrum is wide: small details, simple material and color structures, geometric forms, landscapes, architecture, people, portraits, and everyday situations.

​

Particular interest and at the same time inspiration: observing people in everyday life. On the street, standing, sitting, walking, traveling. Beyond that, the communication, stories, and conversations about everything under the sun.
