I am an artist, photographer, filmmaker and anthropologist living and working in Andalucia. The majority of my creative work touches on magical realism, and it could be said that so too does my anthropology, which focusses on consciousness and performance. In my painting, the magic emerges from the connection between painter and medium, an intimate relationship where the medium is given the freedom to express itself. Some people describe this as a loose affinity, but actually it’s a rather close, tight, congenial bond in which a great deal of respect is given to the nature of the paint, the paper and the water, where closeness and freedom go hand-in-hand; a structure within relationships that I believe to be a crucial element in their success.

Similarly, the ‘hybridization’ process I developed as digital art from photographic sources, originally with flower images, combines the magic of the process with my creative choices to produce some quite spectacular and often unexpected results.
