Lately he have been using Virtual Reality and 360 cameras to bring his audience closer to his work. The main focus of his stories lay on popular culture and our societies ever changing morality, rules and regulations. To Preis, a simple story can be a tool to talk about social issues and to develop a dialogue from the “bottom up” through visual and performance art. He has received his Master of Fine Arts: Dutch Art Institute. 2012-2013 Arnhem, The Netherlands and his BFA Tyler School of Fine Arts -Painting Art History. 2001 Philadelphia, US, but had studied and exhibited throughout Europe and the Americas.
