The Art of Seeing Beyond

Photocomposition as Emotional Self-Portrait

Some of my images don't end in the camera. In fact, they barely begin there. Photography, for me, is the first gesture of a longer, deeper, more intuitive conversation. It’s the capture of a visual raw material — a light, a gesture, a fragment of reality — that will later be transformed, altered, reinterpreted. Each of my works is born from a photograph taken by myself, not out of a need for control, but because I need everything to emerge from my own gaze. From that place, from the intimate, the true creative process begins.

What I do might be called photomontage, photocomposition, digital art… but to me, it is above all a way to express what I cannot say otherwise. I use Photoshop not as a trick, but as a tool for revelation. I don’t seek to deceive the eye: I seek to open other doors for it. I’m drawn to the image as a territory of possibility, as a scene where the lived, the dreamed, and the imagined intersect.

Each composition is a small reconstruction of who I am or what I observe. Sometimes, the images I create seem unreal, fantastical, even impossible. But they all contain an emotional truth. There’s something autobiographical in each one, even if it’s not obvious. I work from intuition, from the desire to see something that does not yet exist. I manipulate light, combine fragments, play with time and space. I deconstruct and reconstruct until the image speaks to me, until it gives back an emotion I recognize as authentic.

There is solitude in that process, yes, but also a form of encounter. I want the viewer not just to look, but to pause, to feel something. To ask questions. To find in the visual a resonance with their own dreams or inner stirrings.

I don’t do this to illustrate an idea, but to discover it. Art, for me, is not an answer but a constant search. And photocomposition is my way of navigating it.
