The camera is believed to take your soul.

In fact it captures it for a second and releases it. That’s why a good photograph has a spirit: true feeling about the personality it represents.  It allows you not just to look, but also to see. Moments that last forever. Meanings that will not be erased.

I identify myself as a professional soul-catcher as I aim to reveal the unique psychological makeup of the characters I portray.

I have been making  Naive Art paintings for the most of my life, creating imaginary worlds filled with colour and emotion. An artwork is like a living universe, it has a powerful energy within which you can feel when you are close.
