My photography is artistic and based on long exposure that allows me to melt different layers of images to create a pictorial effect. The images are in progress; they look intentionally blurred, dreamlike, and evanescent. I photograph for the opposite reason that we can expect, not to stop the time but to show its flow. I capture the different movements that we make in action. By living, this is my photographic obsession. Introspective, dreamlike, and sometimes surrealist, my images can be located at the border between “visible and invisible”. They are able to directly represent sensations and torments of being. My photographs show dreams, torments, unexpected and revealing sensations, soft and elusive emotions, deep dimensions of my restless soul and imagination, the essence of lively magic interiority, and blurred memories in a sign of light. My images are full of melancholy and beauty, with a strong evoking power.
