STATEMENT
My work is a hybrid between photography and painting. I think that in some sense, my work departs from a frustration: I try to reach through a photography what I would like to have been able to paint. I am not focused on nice landscapes or sunsets. I like versatility and the freedom to find inspiration wherever and whatever it is. I try to extract a different (abstract or conceptual) kind of beauty in a set of flowers, in a plant, but the inspiration can also come from a necklace, a nice bottle, a colored straw, a Christmas light, a reflection in the glass, or a smart storefront. At the end, I try to be creative and express myself through colors and forms. The result is many times a little bit “kitsch” but I think that life is color, happiness and beauty. This aim guides my aesthetic approach.
