Discover the creation in interiors

Blindfolded, she embodies the moment when curiosity becomes a fault, when hope mingles with despair.
The box she holds between her half-open fingers symbolizes the burden of knowledge, the kind that can no longer be ignored once revealed.
His gesture, covering his face, conveys shame, fear and a new awareness, that of having released what cannot be taken back.
The chiaroscuro highlights… the tension between light and shadow, between innocence and responsibility.
Pandora is no longer the culprit for the world's evils, but a human figure, fragile and lucid, bearing the weight of the consequences that society often imposes on women: that of original sin.

My work is an exploration of intimacy, where words fade away to give way to feeling. Deeply influenced by the power of chiaroscuro and the legacy of masters such as Caravaggio, I seek the dramatic tension between shadow and light. For me, shadow is not a void, but a refuge where our deepest truths lie hidden.
I focus on humanity, not in its perfection, but in its vulnerability. My works explore our flaws and wounds, those fragilities we often try to hide. Through stark contrasts, I pay homage to the beauty of our imperfections: each shadow is a respected modesty, each burst of light a resilience.
Being of a reserved temperament, I see the act of photographing as a silent dialogue. My art is an invitation to accept the shadow side that dwells within us, for it is precisely there that light is most revealing.
