Capturing the elegance of timelessness
The purpose of my work is to depict different places while giving the feeling of being in the action. The elegance of timelessness is what I capture. I don't mind things which happen once in a lifetime. It is the consistency of beautiful scenes captured on camera. I have a precise way of capturing timeless moments that represent pureness. The aim of my work is to affect my spectators in a matter that they are confronted with a series of emotions that are unique to them. In case you were wondering about the names of my work, I have deliberately chosen to list my works. Personally expressing art can't be fully done alone. The process of the name creation to me happens through communication and simplicity. My concept - imited quantities with fixed dimensions.
