Photography, for me, is a form of dialogue — with myself, with the viewer, with the fleeting moment that still breathes within the image. I create surreal self-portraits because they allow me to confront truth and fiction, humor and melancholy, the ordinary and the absurd. Each photograph is an emotional experiment — an improvisation where I seek not perfection, but authenticity.

I am fascinated by how light can alter meaning, how everyday objects can become symbols. I like to merge irony with contemplation, believing that humor and reflection are two sides of the same mirror. In my photography, I try to capture the moment when a person looks into that mirror and sees not only themselves, but the entire world.

My images are born from a need for dialogue — I do not wish to instruct but to invite. To pause. To smile. To think. To rediscover the beauty of the ordinary. 

His motto is: "If at least one person smiles looking at my photos, it was worth it".
