Born and raised in Denmark, Steen Doessing grew up surrounded by water. The ocean, lakes and rivers were everywhere he looked. His senses were filled with the smell, sound and the visual impression of water. Water to him represents life and the equanimity and power of nature. Water is where he came from. His fascination with water is never ending. He can sit on the shoreline for hours without taking a single photograph and just take in the sea. His work almost exclusively includes elements of water.
