Cristina Schek

I am the photosensitive kind. I thinks in pictures; my imagination is always in focus. I create worlds that are myth places. They exist. Each in their own ways.

Far removed from traditional or documentary photography, the camera is merely a tool for me. I enjoy the freedom of layering and manipulating my photographs into creative montages, trusting my instinct for matching the raw material with the suggestive imaginings of my subconscious.

Often whimsical and a touch romantic, my photographs are given subtle alterations in a digital process that often takes months, resulting in carefully constructed compositions, which betray the influence of the great Surrealist Old Masters.
