Blurreal Photography
"I’ve been evolving this technique as an escape
from the
humdrum images filling
my routines.
I began inserting my own emotions in the act of capturing reality through movements performed directly
in the camera.
I then started drawing with light and watched reality undergo a drifted spontaneous decomposition.
The individual picture was no longer a definitive source of representation but it
had become a challenge for the magination.
I want people to wonder and be inspired by the opened
form of my photographs, at the same time,
I wish to provoke their senses and puzzle their logic."
