patricica recently returned from an extended photojourney in brazil about oscar niemeyer's architectural work for her upcoming book.

"i am developing an open and fresh floading feminine dialogue in my photographic approach: conceptual - free - sensual and human - investigating form and space in details, contexts reinforcing his own vision and paying hommage to this great central figure of brazilian architectural modernism and the people of his country."

highly commited to the environment her artistic body of work - 'GREEN ART' features images of nature using 100% recycled material in printing and framing.

patricia's approach to photography is immediate, direct.

having lived and travelled in all continents her photographs feature the blurring bounderies between art, architecture and design,in capturing experimental travel images, abstract cityscapes..
she has created art that envelops architecture instead of the other way round. patricia understands the value of tradition as well as the importance of pushing contemporary concepts and challenges the interplay between the two.

"our way of living today is ..
expanded, fragmented, kaleidoscopic, infinite.."

patricia practises intensive iyengar yoga and holds an M.A.in american and english literature - lives and works in berlin.
