I like capturing moments from around the world, not merely as photographs but as fragments of memory.

Born in the Aegean and shaped by a multicultural background, I continue to forge my own path.

I believe in freedom, transformation, and lifelong growth, but with balance, happiness, strong bonds, or well-being. I believe that people always come before grand ideals because without people, ideals lose their meaning.

I deeply love music (according to my parents, from the age of one and a half I would sit for hours in front of music channels, quietly and completely absorbed). Choosing a single song is impossible, but these resonate with me:

  • ABBA – Don’t Shut Me Down: it stirs a dormant but potent hope inside me.
  • SKÁLD – Grotti: it stirs my sense of heroism, echoing the tale of two women who prevail.
  • Laura Branigan – Self Control: it reveals my other side.
  • Madonna – Ghosttown: it evokes resilience and the idea of natural rights.
  • The Away Days – World Horizon: it makes me question the reality of the world I perceive.
