Description
"What lies beyond reality? Are there ways to adopt different approaches? Can I visualize things that don't exist in the material world? Can I create visual music and compose with light, images, colors, and forms that are not animated, but can be found in reality? Can I create images in the same way that composers create symphonies? These are the questions I asked myself after seeing enough Hollywood-style films.
I felt the desire to create something new and personal, something that goes beyond the stories and plots known to humanity since time immemorial, both in theater and drama. My own stories, in a personal style resembling nothing of other artists or filmmakers. As an artist, I'm interested in creating images never seen before; as a professional, I aim for perfection in the art of cinema."
