Minecrafting, is a group portrait shot with no stage directions at a
Mykonos summer vacation home. The photograph captures
spontaneous, cinematic moments and everyday gestures, in the
subjects as much as in the spaces they inhabit.
The subjects are immersed in their activities in two separate yet
interconnected spaces, their gaze away from camera, with the
women intent in kitchen chores and the children playing a video
game. Conversation appears to occur amongst them(selves),
leaving the spectator at the margins of action.
The photograph draws inspiration from Dutch Renaissance and
Baroque trompe-l’oeil painting. The careful framing of the subject
matter, as well as the peculiar architecture of the space with its
small-framed window onto a different space, aid the achievement
of a play on linear perspective.
Art has been my steadfast companion, guiding me through life's complexities. My creative process starts with my eyes closed, unlocking untold stories and visions. Inspired by Sol LeWitt's idea that concepts alone can be art, my deepest ideas come from within, shaped by my experiences. Photography, collage, installation, and video art are my main mediums. They help me capture light and shadow, reframe reality, and create immersive experiences. My work embraces adaptability, resilience, and our shared humanity, inviting viewers to connect and empathize.
