"Commitment to the waves"
Silhouettes of surfers walking along the sea and waiting for the right moment.

Amateur photographer from Slovakia, based in the Netherlands. Photography is my passion and personal journey - one that I pursue with a deep focus on architecture. My attention goes to the classic architectonic styles where I find symmetry and lines, and to modern architecture in which I like to notice minimalistic details and unique framing. I approach my work intuitively rather than technically, allowing curiosity and experimentation to guide me. This openness leads me to explore all possibilities. My work has been recognized through multiple honorable mentions and official selections in international photography competitions, reflecting a growing appreciation for my intuitive and minimalist style. Particularly in architectural categories, my key achievements include: • Multiple honors from the International Photography Awards (IPA), including several honorable mentions and multiple images reaching the final rounds between 2022 and 2025. • A growing presence in the Budapest International Foto Awards, with over ten honorable mentions across three consecutive years (2022-2024). • Notable success in the Tokyo International Foto Awards in 2023 and 2025, earning eight honorable mentions. • Multiple honors from the International Color Awards (2022-2025). Additional accolades include mentions and nominations from Monovisions Photography Awards, Monochrome Photography Awards and the Neutral Density Photography Awards.
