Bertil Leidner
I am a physician, specialized in radiology since the 80´s, formerly working at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm. Working with images of the human body as a radiologist is a fascinating trip. The daily work is about creating images that will help to diagnose all kinds of diseases and injuries. Contrasting to this background I also have a fascination of the beauty in the images themselves, where they actually may stand out as individual pieces of artwork. I also have a history of photography since the late 60´s and a longstanding interest in modern art and glass. I have now merged these interests with my professional everyday imaging.
My prime focus is to work with image combinations, both with medical images blended with photos, but also with montages based solely on digital photography in advanced image processing. I am also focused on imaging nature sometimes with a surrealistic touch.
