Portfolio: Once there was, and once there was not (2021) Inspired by my muse and Pinkola Estes’s words, I embark on a personal quest, listening to the instincts rather than thoughts, opening myself to the visual echoes of whispers heard within.
Muse and model: Michal Messika
Artist statement
The idea of visualizing the invisible is something I’ve been continuously exploring in my practice as an artist. I am drawn to what lies beyond the physical appearance of things, trying to capture "what else is there" as Minor White so beautifully put it.
I find
the natural world endlessly inspiring and a rich source of metaphors as well as
materials through which I can tell my story.
Making the unseen seen has prompted experimentation with multiple
photographic techniques: analog, digital, camera-less and combinations of
darkroom and digital techniques. Always looking for new ways to visually
express ideas, enjoying the creative process at least as much as its
result.
