Artist Statement
”My pictures are about the experiences I have with the subjects I photograph. Then those images will be there for eternity, to remember all those moments… In my heart, in my soul, with all my love.
I can express myself through my photography… All the images I show are because I fell in love with them in a certain way… And I like sharing my love with others. The mind and memory are amazing. I remember how I felt when I took those pictures. I remember the experience. They all have a place in my heart, in my life.
I feel inspired by music, reading, sculptures, paintings, cinema… But the click of my inspiration comes from inside of me. I feel it in my heart. When I’m selecting my images, I feel a heartbeat when I see “the one”. I like to go deep into my truth, into my need to express myself and be creative. It’s part of who I am. It’s part of my existence.
I have visions when I’m shooting portraits of people. I see them in a specific way, in a particular pose, with their hands and arms in a certain position, and doing a certain movement. This is the way I see them, so I direct them, and I get the picture I had in mind. It’s like a whirlpool of creativity that goes deeper and deeper, revealing more truthful images. It’s how I strive to be as honest as possible.”
