My works often focus on sea or mountain landscapes and try to capture particular moments or unusual scenarios. My love for cinema and art has influenced my style.
All of my images are presented on an aluminum surface. In many of my photographic constructions, a single, often abstracted image is layered over itself with a subtle grid printed on a clear acrylic surface and superimposed over the base image. The resulting visual phenomenon infuses the image with a sense of dimensionality and fluidity affected by such changes as the angle of viewing and light.

The search for a space with the objective of a personal creative style without guidelines, which frequently eludes skill in its description, conveying elements that I cannot express in any other form because I cannot find the words, and that in visual terms, sometimes materializing in different results, transforming, adapting or interpreting a reality.
Since my art is focused on observer the first step is to connect the audience to my art. To do that I use intensity in my compositions. The intensity of contrast of the elements in the composition, scene- drama, mood - colors I achieve by lines that are shaping the objects in the image by dividing it from the background and connecting it with everything else in the painting. Also, I merge everything else in the painting with this shape like with all other shapes of the composition.
