My portraits are born to transmute pain into memory and absence into presence.

Creating is my way of responding to the void: an act of love toward all that is inevitably destined to vanish.

I rely on a formal harmony that makes pain bearable, allowing the viewer to hold its weight without looking away.

My works originate from digital photography and generative software and are transformed, through the physico-chemical process of cyanotype, into faces embodied in matter.

I do not regard absence as something to document, nor as an empty space, but as a special, intimate, and fragile place that calls me to become its guardian.

My task is to hold on to what is destined to fade.

By exploring the vulnerability of human life, my faces offer those who remain the possibility to caress with their eyes the sweetness of presence, ultimately making the pain of absence bearable.

Keeper of Absence

Prussian Blue, the signature color of this technique, embraces absence rather than instilling fear: it allows one to observe disappearance through a lens of dignity and beauty, making the wound of absence bearable without diminishing its gravity.
