The inside and outside world in the paintings of Edward Hopper is a permanent source of inspiration for my photography; they are a reflection about the relationship between our ‘interior’ and ‘exterior’ lives and emotions. With my deserted, misty (night) landscapes, night dreams and isolated figures in desolate places and strange rooms I try to capture the loneliness, alienation and mystery of modern life. The solitary figures or even couples in my photos are often only shadows of themselves. I mostly use shadows or silhouettes to 'hide' or 'keep outside' information about the subject.
