Inspired by flemish painting, “Historical correction” reinterprets these ild masters from a more contemporany point of wiew, our world and cultures are changing so quickly we are witnessing the collision of past and present.
When you look at paintings from periods of art history, the depiction of the populations shift, our world has become so diverse that different cultures are visually harder to define. Although my photographs are “invited realities”, they are about real issues. Populations shift, gender and race are redefined, past definitions are challenged and the faces of cultures ans customs change. My works depicts those changes.
