Your work navigates between consciousness and the subconscious. How do you prepare yourself mentally and emotionally to capture these fleeting states in your photography?
I am strongly guided by my intuition both during photography and image processing. I don't think about the result I'm aiming for, but work in a processual and associative way, picking up on spontaneously emerging ideas and impulses. The creative process in my work mainly takes place during image processing. There, too, I intuitively access my collected image material and edit and change it by following spontaneous impulses. The result, i.e. the finished picture, is never planned, but always surprising for me, which makes and keeps the artistic work exciting for me.
You describe your art using words like 'wonderworld nature', highlighting the influence of natural beauty. Can you share a specific moment or experience in nature that profoundly impacted your artistic vision?
Even as a child, I was fascinated by nature and its diversity, by the sun and its play of light and shadow. I loved animals and had a dog called Blacky, he was my best friend. It took me about an hour to walk to school and Blacky was always by my side. He also picked me up on time. This long daily walk through the forest along a railroad line showed me how beautiful nature is in every season and how loyal and loving an animal can be.
Photographer and filmmaker Richard Mosse focuses on war-torn regions, capturing the effects of conflict on landscapes and people in lush, cinematic images.
How would you describe yourself and your artwork?
I describe myself as a thinker, showing my images with a personal style and where each image shows that precise moment in just a few seconds and also the character is transmitting what I have in mind. I try to take pictures with ideas that I feel attracted to since the beginning, leaving my mark as an architect. I studied for my Bachelor’s degree in architecture in Mexico. I have a double nationality; Mexican and Lebanese.

I grew up in a beautiful beach town in central California where creativity was all around. I can't recall a specific time when I became interested in art because as far back as I could remember it has been ingrained in me and has been trying to kick it's way out ever since. Learning about Walt disney at a young age had to be my first "eye opening" moment of knowing what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Later on I decided to enroll in the Art Institute of Orange County and finished with my bachelors of science degree in Industrial Design.

From an early age photography has always been a passion of mine .The creative process was intriguing to me as well as the power to capture a moment in time. Photography was more than black and white, it was being able to see in colour. We have a responsibility in this world to record and expose the beauty as it is. Photography has evolved but will always remain pure in my heart .My journey began in South Africa and through the lens I saw a divided nation.
