About me

I’ve always been interested in the bridge from observation to imagination that leads to a heightened appreciation of the world. For me, making pictures is inherently imaginative. It’s the translation of what’s out there by vision, tools and techniques. My perspective is deeply influenced by photography. Trained as a photojournalist, I’ve worked on various assignments, but I found that my passion is for exciting visual experiences and the truth that emerges from personal engagement rather than documentary. Photography remains integral to my creative process.

Also at the heart of my practice is craftsmanship—as something to strive for but also as a theme. I paint in layers, with oil paints and simple media (linseed oil, marble dust). I draw inspiration and motivation from the political and aesthetic ideas of William Morris, who championed the value of the handcrafted and beauty in everyday objects, and Ivan Illich, whose concept of "Tools for Conviviality" emphasizes the importance of human-centered tools and practices that foster genuine life and community. I’m guided by these values as I explore subjects, form and meaning.

Ultimately, I believe that form has the power to imbue ordinary things with a sense of wholeness, broadly lacking in the world today. My hope is that viewing my work can bring you a moment of stillness, connection, or clarity in an increasingly fragmented world.
