I’ve been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil. And I never stopped. I love doing it. To me, it is therapy and meditation. Lose yourself for a few hours and only think about the shape of your next line. That is for me pure happiness. My journey as an artist began with a few pencils and continued with sooth and fire and on top of that I’ve grabbed the film camera in hand and an urge to document the world as I saw it: beautiful, fleeting, and fragile. Over time, my work evolved to focus on the delicate interplay between humanity and nature. I’ve experimented with fumage, film photography, experimental photography techniques, cliché verre, and photosensitive emulsions to explore these themes more deeply.
Photography has always been my way of engaging with the world on a deeper level. For me, it is a way to hold a mirror to our impact on the environment. My images aim to capture not only the vanishing beauty of the natural world but also the stark reminders of how human activity accelerates its disappearance. Each image is a conversation, a moment to pause and see — not just look.
Much of my work explores the fragile relationship between humanity and nature: how we build, consume, and often overlook the delicate ecosystems that surround us.
The landscapes I capture are fleeting, but they carry a quiet message. They remind us that while nothing lasts forever, we have a responsibility to slow the disappearance of what remains. The first step is awareness; the next is mindfulness. My hope is that my photography invites people to reflect, even if just for a moment, on the choices we make and the legacy we leave behind.
The Dolomites, standing tall and chiseled against the January sun, or the Atlantic’s restless waves — these are subjects that remind us of nature’s grandeur and fragility. As I once wrote: “All earth is connected by the waters of the sea. All life is connected. We are all interconnected.”
Another piece, titled Luxuriant, captures the harmonious coexistence of vines and rock in a balanced environment. It serves as a quiet reminder of the interconnectedness of all living creatures and the urgent need to return to our roots. As I reflected: “Humans tend to forget this, but going back to the roots is the answer. Awareness is key. I’m well, and I’ll be better.”
Through my work, I hope to ignite awareness. Because before we can change, we must first see — truly see — what we’re losing. Awareness is the first step; mindfulness must follow.
My academic foundation further deepened this perspective, showing me that art and design are not separate from the world’s challenges but integral to addressing them. It’s why I’ve dedicated so much of my photography to the disappearing beauty of our natural world — a visual reminder that nothing lasts forever, especially not at the pace we’re losing it.
