The story is always the same. Bright lights attract her as a hypnotic
scent. She can not resist to approach and begin her dance, a hymeneal
dance. The Light warms the dark corner, that darkness that
mysteriously draws her although it makes her frightened. In that
mirage, every touch of the sticky web covers her little by little. The
touch of the web is warm, she likes it. The more she moves, the web
surrounds and limits her motion. Finally, she's completely wrapped,
standing still, numb... Time seems to have stopped.
The transformation begins.
The shroud turned into dust and felt off, her body was now clean.
The pray became predator.

My parents have given me the first lessons of culture and they made my approach to it, by starting taking piano lessons since I was still a little boy. With a library full of painting and photo albums, and with my dad also passionate about the visual arts, access was very easy, the only effort being to stretch out my hand, grab an album and start browsing. With photo cameras was harder, the only device that I was allowed to use being a "Smena", lomo version. Better than nothing. I think that from here started my visual education. Nothing forced, I'd even say natural.
The more intense study of technical and compositional details occurred relatively recently, photography giving me a balance between who I am in everyday life, a dentist, a husbant, a father, and "my moments" as I like to call them. The desire to learn „by the book" made me study at New York Institute of Photography, layering an information contained otherwise chaotic in my mind. The study, however, I think will never end…
