Statement
Curiosity, amazement at nature and the fragility of the human condition are elements that permeate my artistic work. An adventurous and restless personality leads me to want to discover stories in everything I see.
As a photographer, screenwriter, and producer my work generally maintains the presence of the everyday and current, from a very ambiguous perspective, as a trigger to address universal issues related to identity, memory, time, love, and death.
I try to communicate my personal vision of the world, thus creating a kind of shared diary. I am passionate about street photography, portraiture, literature, cinema, and painting as a means of interpreting the world around us and dealing with situations that concern me.
As filmmaker “A Leap to the Void” is my Opera Prima. But many stories await to be unfold from now on.
