/ ... / Only match value is liberating. This is the release that the artist seeks the concensus of transgression, liberation which leads to release of incarcerations lie. '

APPROACH AND PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESS CREATION /

STATEMENT:

"The work that he saw the look door.
It is neither limited to nor is it one that has produced
it is also made of the beholder "Pierre Soulages
Show daily and privacy rights with respect to its space are always my photographic approach.
The approach is the same on all of my photographic work, research and contrast linking to my personal history with questions of time and space. But "everything comes and goes inside the museum itself."
My approach is at the border of the figurative and the abstract. Steven's work has been featured in the top places in Africa, Europe, Asia and America and his works are part of major public and private collections in France and abroad: the National Museum of China in Beijing and others. The illusion of reality as an integral part of his photographic works which are a pretext to achieve pictorial processes. It is a work that builds several surveys uncertain and often used his memories to his wishes.
For example, in the work entitled: Escape, I am interested in my dream, it is a kind of epic or personal questions I duality: Opening / closing.
Artistic 2/Processus:

My creative photography is very diverse photographic installations that incorporate text, sound, light and video. When I photograph I trust my instinct with the time (now), lets set my intention and purpose of my work from my experience.
