Description
"What lies beyond reality? Are there different ways of approaching things? Can I visualize elements that don't exist in the material world? Can I create visual music and compose with light, images, colors and forms—not through animation, but as they can be found in reality? Can I create images the same way composers create symphonies? These are the questions I asked myself after having seen enough "Hollywood" type films.
I felt the desire to create something new and personal, something that goes beyond the stories and plots known to humanity since the beginnings of theater and drama. My own stories, in a personal style unlike any other artist or filmmaker. As an artist, I'm interested in creating images never seen before; as a professional, I aim for perfection in the art of cinema."
