I'm a graphic artist working with photography and risography. My work takes me to many places, but what I'm always looking for is stillness, and the essential beauty that reveals itself when everything unnecessary is stripped away.
I find my motifes nearby the sea and in public places, like markets, harbours, quiet streets, architecture – the quiet poetry of everyday.
Every journey, every place, every moment worth keeping finds its way into an image. This is my language – images are how I respond to the world around me.

Photography
Photography is observation. I take countless images of light, of surfaces, of moments that are easy to overlook. The real work happens in the selection: reducing hundreds of frames to the one that holds everything I was looking for. My photographic work ranges from large-format fine art prints that play with extreme blur and abstraction, to the reduced, precise images that find their way into my risograph editions. Different processes, the same search: for the moment when an image becomes something more than a photograph.
Risography
Risography is a printing process that suits my work perfectly. Its colours are quiet and slightly unpredictable, its results never quite identical. Printed on natural paper with soy-based ink, each print has a presence you can see and feel. It is precise and imperfect at the same time. That tension is exactly what I'm looking for.
