Abandonment, oblivion, the exploration of the unusual then became my fascination. I plunge into these spaces that everyone thinks are empty, and I stroll for hours. This is the goal of my art—to conquer those parts of life that people think are dead and capture these incredible places with my camera. The abandoned homes that I am looking for have to meet the criteria that serve my artistic approach. I want to stay intact with this peaceful atmosphere so that the atmosphere, the textures, the light that permeate these places stand out in the eyes of the curious when looking at my art.

The entrances are often harder to spot. I spend some time outside, admire the Italian architecture and go around several times, always being careful not to be spotted. The adrenaline rushes. There have been times when I have not been able to get in. In that case, I don't force the doors, don't break the windows. If no entry is possible without an act of vandalism, then I turn around and tell myself that that's how it is, despite, I admit, a certain bitterness.

I often spend a whole day in these places, because of the vastness and the time to adapt to the present atmosphere. When I leave the building, my mind is as full as my camera. I feel like I have undergone a new journey, my journey, the one where I feel free.

I have discovered wonders that still make me dream today, places full of stories, of change, most of them doomed to collapse. Some of them are now being renovated, and some projects are coming to fruition. A new life for these places, which may no longer make me happy but will make hundreds of other people happy.

During past years, I have won international photography awards in different competitions and photography festivals including Photographer of The Year at Moscow International Foto Award, the Israel Photography Festival, Indian Photography Festival, Festival photo de Chabeuil, and Uzes Photography Festival in France. My solo exhibitions have been seen in many countries such as the United States, Israel, Norway, Germany, Slovenia, France, India, Bangladesh, Spain, Netherlands, and United Kingdom.
