I
am born in Sweden where I also have spent most
of my life. But I also lived in the U.S. for a
number of years, and this period influenced me
strongly as an artist. Indeed it was then I
experienced a turning point which made me work
seriously with Photography as a means of
artistic expression. My work has been described
like this:
--- Photographer Kai Virihaur's photos represent
a visual relationship of the earth and soul, and
of the motions contained within both. Virihaur
draws parallels in the forms of nature and the
body in his "Bodyscape" series, using
flesh, rocks, and water as contrasting elements
in textured compositions. Another series,
"Angel & Moon," finds correlating
forms in lunar and water shapes, using liquid
colors like patterns of stars. Virihaur seems to
reinterpret earthly symbols and forms of natural
design, making them fit into the cosmos of the
sea and sky. Like ancient hieroglyphs, the
images connect visions of human form with
mysterious and mystical cycles of nature. ---
