Artist Statement:
With fresh view to the everyday landscape, that is so often seen as mundane, the familiar, takes on an ethereal quality, evoking a sense of liveliness and movement.
By exposing the relationship between photographic depiction and visual perception through juxtaposing and layering I convey an imagery that can be a powerful channel to visually express an abstract contemplation, creating an uplifting magical realism.

Education:
I’m a self taught photographer, while experimenting intensely, I learned and developed a distinct way of seeing my surroundings and interpret my vision in a very personal way. The last 10 years I fully dedicated my time to fine art photography, and my artworks are held in private and corporate collections.
