My artistic practice explores and brings into interrelation the media of photography and painting. I create visual narratives which capture the intricate complexity of time through compositions that reveal the constant movement between the present and the past. 

These compositions reflect a process of deep introspection which explores the intimate connection between places and objects, searching for the very essence of humanity. Inspired by pictorialism, (a photographic movement of the late 19th Century that imitated painting), I seek to draw the viewer in by using long exposures and desaturated tonalities, sometimes capturing shadows and reflections indirectly. In my images, it is common to find a trail of dancers in movement, old doors or windows, dilapidated walls; I highlight these subjects as an essential component of the environment which surrounds them, providing a portal for sensitive and intuitive contemplation.
