ABOUT
The Visual Arts for me are about telling a story, expressing emotion and fantasy. All mediums are valid playing fields for these expressions, from photo/video to technology, sculpture and sound. Skills can quickly be adapted in todays emerging world, and I believe pure concepts are king. Experience, observation… patience, purge & refine.
Adam Den Haene is a New York artist and photographer based in Europe.
