Artist Statement
“Within the fascination I have for details is that I allow myself to explore how different aspects of our everyday life can be highlighted, toned and why not, dramatized.
I always attempt to show elements that are usually overlooked in our daily routine and the permanent break that a picture generates helps us to explore, perceive and feel with more calm what we all have around us.
