I was born in Barcelona in 1968.  I grew up on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza
where I attended Spanish, French and British schools before finishing high school
in Mexico.  I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts from the California Institute of the
Arts in 1992 and moved to Berlin, Germany in 1993.

I have always been fascinated with the reflective and refractive imagery produced
on the surface of and under water.  Freezing moments in time on this rippling,
flowing medium, paired with natural light and wind, and whatever may lie beneath
its surface, reveals delicate and sometimes complex organic patterns and fluid shapes
uniquely characterised by the ever changing motion of water. 

                For several years now I have also been creating multiple exposure, multi-
                        layered abstract  compositions of subject matter photographed from
                             various angles and distances.  I call this style, Fusion photography.

                                   I am drawn to a world that often alters structure, form, and color,
                                      and blurs the lines between reality and abstraction. 

                                            “In my 30+ years as an art curator, I have not seen anything
                                                 quite like Ned Irving’s photography.”
