I really love the work of Santiago Calatrava. They always remind me in part of the structures from the movie Alien, which was created by the great artist H.R.Giger. Just like there, the dechen constructions are very morphic and often remind me of spinal columns or bone structures. But of course the stations and buildings have many other beautiful aspects and details, which I try to bring across in this project. But because of the quantity, I realize that this is only a modest attempt.

Grown up in the sixties in a small town in the Lower Rhine Area, he has been influenced by the Lower Rhine landscape and also by industrial heritage and architectural diversity. This affected previously his work as painter. Later on, with the coming of the digital age, he swapped back to photography, which he had performed occasionally before with analogue cameras alongside the painting. His Main topics are expressive and high-quality photographic images out of the subjects architecture, landscape from many different countries , Sport and People Photography.
