'As a television cameraman, I probably filmed some 400 reports in over 50 countries during the past eighteen years. I covered anything from natural disasters, warzones and diseases to political events, music videos and short documentaries. Through these travels, I was privileged to obtain a unique and very personal look into humanity and our global society. I was able to witness up close what most of us will only learn about through media. Back in my studio, I transferred the Stories I encountered on my journeys into something even more lasting than television: Painting.'
