My journey as a digital artist started as a photographer seeing the world in a different way than most other people. My photographs I was told by some of my fellow photographers were not as perfect as they should be. They looked down at me for not going that extra distance to perfect them. Yet, the world itself is not perfect and so I thought my work was fine.
Dreams allow us to bypass rationality and tap into a deeper, universal language of emotions and symbols. Balancing this fluidity with intellectual and emotional engagement happens naturally when we trust the process. Subconscious imagery often carries its own internal logic, resonating with audiences without the need for explicit explanation.
The day when my consciousness reached the stage where I could consciously perceive feelings, when I understood that each of my works is born. Each one on its own with its own existence. Born, independent of space and time, to then live an existence detached from goal, time, purpose or content. Connected without being methodical. Without any connexion. In no way predictable and always surprisingly different than expected. Stylishness as a stylistic device.

I’ve always loved photography and nature and have been exposed to it from an early age. Cameras were and still are a big part of family get-togethers and vacations.

Photography is a way for me to express myself through my lens. Bring beauty and encouragement to others, and allow others to see that dark times in life can bring them into a new light. I love capturing images of a beautiful sunset, as well as a tiny bumblebee sipping nectar from a flower. Nothing in life is too large or small to hold its own beauty.

In my photos I favor compositional harmony, chromatic sense and the infinite variations of nature. I try to capture the beauty of landscapes, the liveliness of city life but I often portray details that strike me. Close-ups and masks have always fascinated me because they reveal the essence of the person being portrayed. My works often focus on sea or mountain landscapes and try to capture particular moments or unusual scenarios. My love for cinema and art has influenced my style.
All of my images are presented on an aluminum surface. In many of my photographic constructions, a single, often abstracted image is layered over itself with a subtle grid printed on a clear acrylic surface and superimposed over the base image. The resulting visual phenomenon infuses the image with a sense of dimensionality and fluidity affected by such changes as the angle of viewing and light.

The search for a space with the objective of a personal creative style without guidelines, which frequently eludes skill in its description, conveying elements that I cannot express in any other form because I cannot find the words, and that in visual terms, sometimes materializing in different results, transforming, adapting or interpreting a reality.
Since my art is focused on observer the first step is to connect the audience to my art. To do that I use intensity in my compositions. The intensity of contrast of the elements in the composition, scene- drama, mood - colors I achieve by lines that are shaping the objects in the image by dividing it from the background and connecting it with everything else in the painting. Also, I merge everything else in the painting with this shape like with all other shapes of the composition.
