A Sense of Place, a Sense of Wonder…

One of my main interests is expressing the sense of Place, whether it is in the calm embrace of nature or in the busy liveliness of urban settings. I want to explore the complex dynamics of how people interact with their environments and the subtle ways in which we both shape and are influenced by them. Evidence of humanity's impact on the environment is not always overtly represented by the presence of people within my images; rather, it emerges through the traces and marks left behind, revealing our intricate relationship with the landscapes we inhabit.

Whether I'm traveling or staying put, I find inspiration in the ordinary. I use photography and drawing as the cornerstones of my artistic practice, which later evolve into paintings, fine art prints, or developed drawings. The interaction of color and light is fundamental to my artistic investigation. My fascination lies in the ability of color and light to change commonplace scenes into mysterious ones that entice viewers to go deeper into their layers of perception. I consistently reimagine and shift the familiar, enhancing experiential aspects of a scene to generate a sense of wonder or fascination.
