I work as an engineer for a living, designing algorithms for 5G and 6G communications. I've always loved mathematics and the quiet thrill of working through a problem in my head—though, funnily enough, I'm not particularly fond of coding itself. My work demands speed and precision, but my creative practice is where I find balance and meaning. Photography lets me capture what's already there, while drawing allows me to express what I imagine—and surprisingly, they often speak the same language.

My drawings are inspired by Vincent van Gogh and Leonid Afremov, artists who paint with light. I'm drawn to their scenes of ocean sunsets, bridges, and buildings—compositions that feel alive with color and emotion. After a dive, I often find myself watching the sun set over the sea, camera in hand, capturing photos and videos that echo the very paintings I love and the drawings I create. Traveling through different countries to photograph landscapes follows the same instinct: chasing light, color, and atmosphere wherever I find them.

I rarely draw people, but I love photographing them. Street portraits feel different from scenery—each one is unique, tied to a specific moment and memory. Unlike watching a video online, these are images I lived through myself, and that personal connection is what makes them meaningful.

Photography, drawing, diving, and traveling aren't separate interests for me—they're all ways of seeing. Each one teaches me to slow down, observe carefully, and find beauty in what others might overlook. This is what drives me, and it's what I want to share through my work.
