ARTISTIC STATEMENT
Cinema, the captivating art of blending various artistic forms into an amalgamation that leads to unparalleled experiences, is materialised as the ultimate medium for human expression. In particular, the potential tied visual dimension is boundless. Whether still or in motion, color or black and white, an image can have countless flavours and forms. Countless as the elements that, when combined, contribute to shaping an image—a mosaic of creative decisions—create an all-encompassing approach that enriches the universe of a story forged through images.
Together, these elements serve as stimuli, inviting one to be a part of and contribute to this milieu. Going beyond surface-level exploration, they uncover new angles, methods, and perspectives in the pursuit of visual research. My mission is therefore to navigate this sea of decisions, employing the tools of photography and colour as means of storytelling, to enrich, deepen and explore audiovisual products.
