ARTIST STATEMENT

I grew up in an artistic family. My uncle was a known artist in the field of contemporary painting. I myself, after finishing my academic study in the universities of Paris and obtained my master’s degree in International & E-Commerce, wanted to be more involved with the ordinary life of people around the world. Then I have started to capture the scenes and promote the feel of photography art by observing the path of the great photographers like Cartier Bresson and Sebastiao Salgado and began by practising in the street and by recording every moment of the ordinary life, basically on the technique of BnW.

Knowing the fact that the initial motivation of the photographer is capturing all that is commonly unnoticed, the age of Covid and pandemic for me was one of exploring a unique world where the attractiveness in front of my camera has changed and through which I can explore.
