My artistic goal is to create new forms of aesthetic value and combine
the poetic of abstract geometry with the individual characteristics of
the sitting subjects.
My creative work starts in the darkroom.
To achieve perfect symmetry, I use a process of multiples exposures on
the same negative. I rotate and intersect the image with its
reflection, define the conversion, point symmetry, mirror lines and
resize it to create a new form. The process allows me to stage various
geometric and optical transformations. The technical challenge during
the creative process is to obtain a perfect print without seeing the
finished image.
I use fundamental mathematical principles to help me create images
that can remind one of familiar shapes found in nature and in the
human shape. The creative process brings up unexpected elements and a
vast range of details far beyond what anyone could ever imagine,
infinite forms of existence far beyond the particular of our
appearance.
Bilateral symmetry
Combination of identical exposure intersecting with their own
reflection
The intersection of the two shapes A (original) and B (reflection
of A) are positioned at the same angle to create a new form bound
by its central line reflection .
