Statement
Since I started to get interested in photography, I discovered the importance of living poetically. I seek to capture the fragility of life from a sensitive and emotional perspective that connects me with nature, with others and with myself. When I take a photo, I enter a kind of meditative state where silence reigns. When I hear the whisper of my inner music, I finally feel completely free.
