I choose to explore and express my ambiguous personality through mixed techniques, based on two mediums, photography and painting. The overall approach of this investigation reflects my ambivalence.

I think photos are sometimes incomplete despite their technical accuracy. The meaning of my photographs was often limited and only partially evident. Instead of exalting the mechanical origin of the medium or some digital properties, refusing any standardization, I came to take photos both with and without lens. To take picture without lens, I transform my basic camera by using a lens cap and covering the large hole drilled into it with plastic wrap. As objects lose their real appearance, I forget the immediate subject and can fully concentrate on light and shapes. I call these raw pictures “Free_Lens”. Photographs taken with a lens are used to place a part of my abstract imagery in a figurative context.
