I express myself artistically in photography, film and multimedia installations. Photography is my way of seeing the world, processing it in my own way. Since I realised that photography is not an objective message, I started working with many images to build my subjective reality; I try to give my pictures the illusion of perceived space. I am interested in man's relationship with nature, but also with nature that is much more difficult to grasp by means of the senses - the universe that surrounds us, implying phenomena that our mind can only grasp with the help of poetry. My photo-images are new entities, though brought into existence by the impulse of recording.
