Minecrafting

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.
