Country: Romania 🇷🇴
I am a lawyer by profession and I take photos out of passion.It helps me to know myself better, to evolve spiritually and to express visually what I discover beyond the apparent.At the same time, it allows me to join those who, through artistic means, approach the themes that appeal to me - themes that explore human nature, nature and society.
Photography, once I grasped its true essence, put me in a state of vulnerability. It forced me to introspect and began a journey of self-discovery and reconciliation with parts of myself that I had denied or hidden - emotions, fears, desires - enabling me to bring these shadows into conscious awareness. This journey, though challenging and at times painful, has led to closure and serenity, always restoring a profound balance. Photography has become for me not only a way to express my emotions and personal experiences through a visual language, but also an invaluable tool for catharsis.
I think that the most important thing that someone can conquer is his own mind.
