Who I am is probably best described through my work, and my work I’d like for people to look at rather than it being explained by me.

I always enjoyed observing. Anything, but people mainly. It just happened that I started observing not just with my eyes but with a camera, it made sense.

I believe in questions rather than answers and in the duality of things… Everything consists of two sides. If an image tells a story and triggers questions rather than giving a definitive answer, to me, that’s an interesting image.

No, not at all. It just happened that when I started working with photography I photographed mainly my friends, but to me it doesn't really matter if I know someone well or not, with some people it’s easier, with others more difficult.

Nudity is not the main concern within my work. As for the aesthetic aspect of it, I like to create a certain order in my images and clarity. Photographing someone nude is a question of composition and of use of color for me. People function as a sculpture in the image, their bodily appearance slightly moves away from appearing human at times, but the feeling of the image stays humane. The nude implies awareness of being seen. People are not naked as they are, they are naked as the viewer sees them. It is not about showing someone naked, in their most real, personal state to be presented or even judged by the viewer; even when naked or especially then, the people in my images are not engaged or available to the viewer in any way… Nudity in painting or photography, most of the time has nothing to do with being real or free– it’s just another uniform. I feel, depicting nakedness, a sense of authenticity or closeness with oneself, which is a great concern within my work, it’s something that comes across if ever and only within the glance, the look or the feeling a person's depicting within that image ; That's where people are recognized for what they really are, what or how they really feel - not in the fact of one being naked, shown without clothes.

Mostly not, I always tried to educate myself as much as possible and still do. I’m lucky to have great and interesting people around who are my friends, artists or even professors at art universities. In a way, I have studied only the things I wanted to study and not what someone else told me to. When I teach myself I don't go about it in a sense that I enter the class and explain “how things are done” , it’s more about working on something together.

In terms of art I look at painting more than photography and more generally speaking; everything I see and the things I don’t see even more.
