Self-Portrait, Santiago, Chile, 2000–2001
Stettner: ‘My way of life, my very being, is based on images capable of engraving themselves indelibly in our inner soul’s eye. Also, through my personal vision, to reveal what cannot be readily seen, to capture what is most meaningful, to enrich our appreciation of life, to explore and celebrate the human condition and the world, nature and man together, to find significance in suffering and all that is profound, beautiful and nourishes the soul. Above all, I believe in creative work through struggle to increase human wisdom and happiness’
