My practice as a visual artist operates between art direction and image-making, spanning both still and moving formats. I conceive and realize work that explores the intersection of identity, fashion, and narrative. Guided by intuition, I am drawn to a regard intérieur (inner gaze), capturing moments that feel suspended, shaped by a quiet tension and a melancholic, nostalgic, and slightly surreal atmosphere.
With formal training in design and photography and international experience, my work spans cultures and languages, collaborating with forward-thinking brands, organizations, magazines and a diverse range of creatives and artists to develop distinctive and cohesive visual identities.
Currently based between Vienna and Paris.
