Although my photography seems staged it always evolves from intuition. I understand my images as the result of an emotion which emerged at the time of their creation, and not as much as expression of precise visual ideas. The images I strive to create are, simply emotional. The best way for me to express these emotions is visual expression. It is shaped by everything that has challenged me, or carried me, hurt or given joy.

The magic effect of self-portrait photography and the communication with my audience through manifestations that this photography presented.

Eventually, in my attempts to share my experience, I involved other models, and the project that came to be is what we refer to as “to be a muse” today.

The fundamental idea behind the name of the project is shifting the focus from the artists to the models – the muses that inspired all those creators, the muses we often know so little about.

​

​

Since dawn of times, artists tried to copy the work of other artist to draw inspiration or improve their technique and to understand what is art.

On the contrary, in the “to be a muse” project I consequently shine the spotlight on the other party in the intimate process of creation – the muses who filled the painters with inspiration, moved them, shed light on their path of creation.

​

​

 One of my goals is to show that everyone has the power of being an inspiration to an artist - being a Muse. I highlight the fact that beautiful strangers from pictures of artists, muses admired by generations were or are actually real, living women and men. And they can be reborn in each of us as fragments of wonderful fine muses. To open the magic world of transformation that helped myself through challenging periods of personal life, through emotional hardship.

It’s very well known that role-playing is a very common therapeutic effect.

In my works, there is no ambition or focus on precise recreation of all details of original paintings, but rather a very own and often unique view or interpretation thereof. Here, we may playfully shuffle ancient with contemporary, bring a vivid mix of accessories and styling elements – clearly demonstrating that, at no time, does the resulting image attempt to copy masterpieces, but rather project them through a prism of my imagination while inspired by my beautiful muses.

And when I succeed, I feel just like a magician who helped them travel in time and space and breathe in inspiration.
