Fervent admirer of the great masters like Alexander Rodchenko,Nelly's, Irving Penn, and Cartier Bresson,he is also captivated by the poetry of Antononioni and Theo Angelopoulos'images, and inspired by the abstraction and geometry of Malevich, Giorgio De Chirico and Robert Delaunay's paintings.He truly believes in the complementarity between photography,poetry and painting.In his own words:“What is the most important for a poet is to create and develop his own lyrical,musical and pictorial language.What is the most important for a photographer is to create and develop his own visual language.Both have become increasingly intertwined,with photography perceived as a universal medium to express poetry,overcoming any limitations due to language,interpretation and cultural differences.†|
