ARTIST STATEMENT TRUCKS.13
The most beautiful trucks in the world

A beautiful truck stands in Pakistan for a successful business. There is the classic painting, reminiscent of the artist Bob Ross. Beautiful motifs, sometimes very kitschy, sometimes artificial, but always very expressive and painted in bold colors. Frequent motifs are tigers, love and anything romantic you can imagine. The second technique is executed with so-called mirror foils. These are cut out with incredible skill using scissors and a cutter knife and assembled into mosaics. The last of the three techniques are aluminum plates, which are punched and hammered and finally processed into beautiful panels. Nowhere else in the world are there more colorful trucks. I took this unique series of photos with a special robotic arm back then. The pictures were taken with a telephoto lens, which doesn't really suit the end game in terms of photography.

My vision as an artist
As an artist, I strive to rediscover the world through my viewfinder and capture extraordinary subjects in great places.
My passion for photography began in 1992 when I picked up an analog Canon camera for the first time and discovered the world in black and white. Parallel to my professional work as a freelance cameraman in advertising, documentaries and television, I always pursued my love of classic photography.
My nine different photography projects on my website are diverse and have been realized worldwide.
