I have always had a very intimate connection to images. Since early childhod, I have always seen myself draw drawing.

It was only during my adolescence that the camera begun to replace my pencils. Today, I am "writing" more easily with images than with words. Each of my photographs can be read as a small poem, seeking at less to describe and more to make people feel, a pictorial and intimate interpretation of what I see, of the instant suspended in time.

Instinctive, minimalist, sleek, graphic, made of lines, with precise framing and dominated by deep black - these are the best words describing my photography. The details are blurred, the anecdotal disappears, the essential is revealedand is the only thing that remains. Then reality becomes unreal, and the photograph, an opportunity offered to the imagination."
