I intend to create images that can be interpreted beyond the objective representation of reality.
Meaning is not an absolute concept, as we are all experiencing the world through ourselves only. We create it in retrospect, according to our personal experiences, sensitivity, education and culture.
In this sense, photography is an ambivalent media, as the viewer always have an expectation of reality. That is the reason why I choose photography to express myself: I like to walk on the thread of this ambivalence.
Themes like memory and its functioning, our perception of time and its flow, and the way we build our identity are interconnected and infuse my entire work, as a way to explore human condition. Given that all creations are reinterpretations, comments, appropriations, updates and extensions of something preexisting -and so is life itself-, I am looking for what makes us “us”.
That is why self-portraiture is at the core of my production. It puts me in a very special position and gives me the opportunity to look at myself from the outside. It allows me to shift my perception as the center of the universe and at the same time, turns me into a mean to express ideas, feelings and emotions.
Both the artist and artwork, the subject and the spectator.
Although I am at the center of my own work, I seek to express something other people can identify with and relate to, a form of communication and empathy through shared emotions.
I am looking for my own answers to the questions humankind has asked since the birth of abstract thinking. And the need to do so is ever-present. These thoughts never leave me, they occur spontaneously even when I am not looking for them.
What I would like to be perceived is the research behind the artworks, which arises from questions, and which instead of finding absolute answers leads to other questions, in a continuous flow. Like life.
