I am a photo visionary and digital artist shaped by a profound awakening and personal transformation that reshaped both my life and creative path. A disruption early in my career led me to confront and heal past trauma, cultivating later the resilience and authenticity that define my work.My foundation is in still photography, with experience on film sets, in black-and-white labs, and briefly in commercial advertising. I collaborated with the Henry Boxer Gallery in London, and my work has appeared on international book covers.Since 2021, I’ve focused on the intersection of art and technology, building on nearly two decades of largely self-taught photo editing. My nonconformist approach led to *Kniff Art* (2016–ongoing), a pure surrealist automatism and flow-state practice transforming formless digital imagery into imaginative compositions and new forms in Photoshop—beginning with a blurred green outdoors photograph as a kind of visual “nothingness” or blank canvas.Working independently and outside commercial structures has been central to my practice, allowing experimental and pioneering exploration long before AI became mainstream. For the past three years 2023-2025, I’ve engaged in daily AI prompting, expanding with surrealist text automatism and beyond refining my artistic voice.
