Statement

Nature and landscape are the raw materials of my work. I approach them contemplatively, alone and in silence, open to unplanned moments that affect me, whether aesthetically or emotionally.

Although I never appear in my photos, I feel there is a great deal of self-portraiture in them.

Since Covid, I have worked almost exclusively in black and white. I am drawn to simplicity and try communicating with as few elements as possible. Rather than explaining, I try to suggest and leave room for interpretation. There is often a poetic intent, which I hope the viewer will find also.

A significant part of my recent work is based on the juxtaposition of photographs. I find it fascinating how placing two images side by side can create a resonance between them and transform them. It is not just about combining two photographs, but about how elements from each can take on new meanings simply by being placed next to one another.
