BIO
Stefan (1989) is a Photography Artist. He moved to Buenos Aires at an early age, where he got infected by the blend of European chic and Latin sensualness, a trait still clearly visible in his signature today. He resides between Amsterdam and Cape Town.
'EVERY BRIGHT LIGHT CASTS A DARK SHADOW. I TAKE A LONG PAINFUL LOOK AT MY DARKER TRAITS, AS A REFLECTION OF OUR SHARED HUMAN FRAILTY.’
'I am heavily influenced by Carl Jung and te idea of the collective unconciousness.
By using photography as a medium to paint with archetypes: universal truths about the human condition, I try and explore my unconscious.
These truths, in turn, helps me to explain why I act the way I act.
And perhaps you too.'
