I am in search of innocence, that's what I am looking for. That's so magnificent of childeren and that's what we adults have lost. I find my models on the street and invite them into my studio. I edit the portraits with utmost care and precision. Layer by layer, I work on the image to create serene and paint-like images of sterile, virgin childeren that look you right in the face, without smiling. A pale and almost transparant skin enchances their purity. By extracting color and using just basic, white clothing the power and essence of the portrait is being emphasized.
