Some of his images include:
His work is chaotic, which is in part why I choose this artist -- I intend to have a chaotic background in my work. His pieces are very textural, highlighting the properties of the animals meanwhile the lighting on the bodies reveals human aspects. The work looks like a bad, but vivid nightmare; it seems to be the kind of dream that is horrifying yet you want to stay asleep to resolve it and because it is so interesting. I like how the lighting effects seem done in a painterly way, yet the image obviously has a digital feel to it in its details. Originally I planned to do a crime scene but these images made me think something along the lines of a haunted house would be more fun.
I think the work could be better by having some parts slightly blurry, and some parts remaining crisp. This would give the viewer an idea of where the artist's intention is for the viewer to look. For example, the rug in the second image is so detailed that it detracts from the person and elephants which I assume are the intended main focus of the piece. It is almost as if the artist is "showing off" too much. However, I guess in a sense the details add to the overall dream-like feeling. Because the images seem to tell a story, and the artists website is set up like film stills, it might be interesting to see series images. The colors in the first image seem a bit predictable, such as the bright color of the blood, and are most interesting to me in the last image where the colors are more subtle and the focus is more on the lighting.
