I am self-taught artist,a tao alchemist, a photo-,visionary and digital artist and techspressionist; a spontaneous awakening (kundalini) a rebirth and transformation that reshaped both my life and creative path was the disruption of my early career and led me to confront my shadow self-part and heal childabuse past trauma.My foundation is rooted in still photography on film sets, in black-and-white labs, and only briefly in commercial advertising.I collaborated with the Henry Boxer Gallery in London, and my photographic work has appeared on international book covers with focus on Noir themes.Since 2001 I have worked with Photoshop CS6 until a non-conformist (2016-) photo-editing approach finally led to *Kniff Art*, a pure surrealist automatism and flow-state practice transforming formless digital imagery into imaginative compositions and new forms, a pioneer to myself.I was building on nearly two decades of photo editing,working also outside commercial structures allowing experimental exploration before AI became mainstream.Since 2023 I’ve engaged in AI-gen expanding with surrealist text automatism and beyond 'refining' what needed to be refined.

Manly P. Hall, a 20th-century mystic and philosopher, taught that the awakening of KUNDALINI—the dormant, coiled energy at the base of the spine—is a transformative process that alters consciousness, leading to the creation of NEW FORMS, both in terms of inner spiritual experience and outer creative expression. TIMELESS WISDOM OF ALL AGES. Shakti is the power & force of creation. To create is to perform work through availability of energy. Without energy, no change can occur. Creation, by its very nature, is in constant flux—always moving, transforming, and evolving. To possess Shakti is therefore to possess the power to act upon creation and bring forth new forms.I did this and basically I am creating out of this essence.

In today’s world, self-taught mastery matters more than credentials. Real expertise is forged through discipline, intuition, and thousands of 'unseen' underground working hours of practice.It’s another version of an old gatekeeping argument about purity, authenticity, and technical mastery to state that artworks that involve writing computer code qualify as “digital art” while artworks created using Photoshop or other media applications do not._ Dr. Lev Manovich
