Still Life

To create my pictures, I often get inspiration from things around me, such as nature, flowers and vegetables. I love traveling to different countries to create pictures with local vegetables and fruit. It’s interesting to note that sometimes, in the most remote parts of the world, you can find nothing exotic but apples, bananas, and bell peppers.

I had a desire to capture a white nature morte in white fields of daffodils.

I bought these patissons in Italy as decorations for my home. They were nice to look at. But the more I looked at them, the more I wanted to capture them in a photograph.

Drawing inspiration from classic still-life paintings, I create compositions that pay homage to the beauty and elegance of traditional objects while infusing them with a fresh and modern sensibility.

I infuse classic still-life theme such as squash and fruit with a modern twist using unexpected

shapes, and patterns to create a sense of surprise and delight.

When I first saw these pralines, I was so excited that they looked and sparkled like real gems.

Sometimes ideas come to my head while I'm doing groceries. Flowers are sold alongside fruits. I looked first at the hydrangea, then at the watermelon and I couldn't help but see them together.

Continuing the idea of combining flowers and watermelons, I decided to make the composition as summery as possible.
