My artistic practice is driven by a fascination with the natural world and its infinite variations. I use landscape photography primarily as a medium to explore the beauty, complexity, and fragility of our world. Through my images, I aim to capture the essence of a place, its mood and atmosphere. I seek to create a dialogue between the viewer and the environment and invite them to reflect on that relationship. My work is influenced by both traditional and contemporary approaches to photography, as well as my own personal experiences and travel. I use a variety of techniques to explore other photographic styles that allow me to create images that are both realistic and abstract, that strive to evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity.
