About us

'A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words' Ansel Adams

Photography is generally considered to be a 'realistic' medium.Abstract photography is puzzling to many people but I enjoy working with objects and colors in a way that's not 'realistic'. Besides allowing for an extended range of creativity, the focus on symbolism, color, texture, geometry, and shape goes to the root of a viewer's psyche and evokes unconscious memory and emotion, which is essentially what art is all about. Between the cracks of a well-defined, sharply focused reality is a beautiful, amazing world of colors, shapes and forms.

Choosing photography was my only way to capture the constant changing moments. I’m always searching perhaps more of an explorer than an artist. I believe the best artists are the elements. They continually working, coloring, transforming and shaping themselves and us I have always been interested in surreal and abstract visions. But as a documentary photographer, I wanted to include both themes in my new project. I wanted a visual luminosity and also a spiritual quality. Exploring this world has been one of my favorite journeys.
