3 words to describe you
Imaginative, rational and solitary
Why do you take pictures?
In the beginning, I thought it was the best way to keep things such as memory, situations, and dumb things in real time. Later, I’ve learnt more about photography and realized that it can be part of a medium to express thoughts or stories. So, I still take some snapshots in daily life and do projects to reflect the story that I want to share.
Where do you get your inspiration?
I like to get new fun facts from the internet like podcasts and text. I also watch movies, animations, and some series. So, I keep all of my experience and knowledge to inspire my work.
Who are your influences?
Maurizio Di Iorio is a photographer who got into this type of photography.
What determines the subject matter you choose?
Most of my subject matter comes from my current interest for the real. So, it usually expresses my experience whether it is direct from myself or from the outside media.
What impact would you like your art to have?
I’d like to reflect on anything in daily life in another way. I usually make my art colorful to feel like it is cheerful with a bit of surrealism but what I want to reflect is what is currently happening in society.
What artwork do you never get bored with?
I easily appreciate artwork which is full of objects and details with vibrant color. But the one that I never get bored with is the work of Hiroshi Nagai. His artwork makes me comfortable and delighted at the same time. So, I can appreciate each detail and color in his artwork all day.
Is there anything you want to add?
Big thanks for this great opportunity. Keep doing it!
