"What I seek to show through my photography are the simple lines, the gracious movements and the emotions. For me photography is a way of thinking and a concept, a moment lived in 1/100 of a second. Nowadays everyone has a camera, but not everyone can show their feelings through the lenses. If I succeed in transferring my emotions through my photographs to the public, it means that I have touched the people in a way. The movements of the dancers from ballet Tangra, the architectural details and the places, which I have photographed, are the artistic interpretation that I offer you."
