This is a partial façade of the Kaleidoscope in London. I like its interplay of structure, light, and reflection. The building becomes a silent theater, where geometric precision meets fleeting moments - birds in flight, fragments of sky, and shifting shadows. Each perspective angle reveals something new: the left is quiet with reflection and migrating birds and step-by-step to the right the intensity changes into a more intense colourful rhythmic palette. It’s a meditation on how perception shapes reality, inviting us to find beauty in transformation and the ever-changing world around us.

When seeing a row of small harbor houses in the South of Sweden, my imagination was triggered to create a whole mountain out of them. Near the water I only kept one young woman, seated next to her boat. It could be a scene of a Wes Anderson movie or a story you as the viewer can make up.

Kaleidoscope in London is a dynamic office building next to Smithfield Market. PLP Architecture designed the complex, that currently houses Tiktok’s UK Headquarters. I was lucky to be able to capture it after a rain shower, using a puddle to extend the kaleidoscopic effect of the colorful building into an immersive experience.

The shapes and colors of the hotel Novotel in London’s Wembley area instantly reminded me of the famous Swiss chocolate brand. And it was just a delicious to my eyes. The pattern of the triangular shaped window units are very pleasing to look at. I made this photo with a tilt-shift lens, which can correct the vertical lines of perspective when looking up. It is part of my series of Urban Tapestries in which I always look at frontally photographed facades of buildings.

This is one of the works that I will present in London's 100th edition of The Other Art Fair.

When looking up onto the facade of Omnizorg in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands, I envisioned creating a column of air in between four walls. The multi-colored repetition of the shutters in different positions is duplicated on all sides, which gives the composition a pleasant visual and spiritual confirmation continuing into the sky above. In order to slightly break the diagonal symmetry and add a personal touch, I added my son and our dog looking out of one window.
