Biography

Ze daLuz
    born in Chicago Illinois

ARTIST STATEMENT - Photography
My work is a collage of impressions meant to stimulate the senses with color and motion both real and imaginary.  Melding photography with digital graphics, I create portraits of people and places.  My goal is to elicit emotional response from the viewer; a sense of uncertain recognition of images they thought were uniquely theirs.

I have worked with and studied many forms of artistic expression including drawing, painting, photography, computer graphics, poetry, fiber arts, and ceramics.  Although I continue to produce work in many of these disciplines, photo art is my current method of communication with my audience.

My current series, LIGHTWORLD, explores the boundaries of natural and artificial light and color.  My works are issued only in limited editions of 10 photographic prints, matted and framed.
