"My journey in photography started at the age of 19. That was the time when my whole family passed away. That moment I decided that life is too short and I must do things that really matter.
I was studying political science before. But after that wake-up call, I changed my life and came to Europe to follow my new philosophy. Art helped me a lot to survive the darkest days in my life and these philosophical findings I try to express within my works.
The tragedy in my life built me as an artist. Because of my past, I am trying to find the true beauty and the meaning of life which is full of injustice. In my artistic mission, I am trying to bring a message to people: stay conscious about given time and embrace the beauty around.
In my photography, I create my own world with my own rules. My invented world reveals the true fillings hidden inside of us. In my imagined world, I am asking the viewer important questions: what is the fear, what is loneliness, what is the essence of life? How to see the truth in the world full of false?"
