A journey forged by resilience Faced with health issues that distanced me from professional life, I immersed myself in artistic creation as a vital escape. Since 2012, I have been sharing a dark, raw, and deeply personal universe. A passion born in childhood I have been practicing photomontage for over 12 years. Since the age of six, I have been fascinated by unsettling stories, haunting atmospheres, and creatures emerging from the shadows. This early passion naturally led me to create my own visions: gothic portraits, macabre compositions, and contemporary vanitas works where beauty and decay intertwine. A self-taught artist I am a self-taught artist. I have received no formal artistic training. I taught myself how to master Photoshop, and I continue to refine my techniques every day. I would like to emphasize that I do not use artificial intelligence. Each creation is crafted from real photographs that I carefully select, cut, and manually assemble. It is a handcrafted process that allows me to preserve authenticity and control every detail. A universe inspired by the masters of darkness My influences are multiple and powerful. I draw inspiration from the works of Rob Zombie, John Carpenter, Wes Craven, Sam Raimi, George A. Romero, Stephen King, Clive Barker, Guillermo del Toro, Tim Burton, and H.R. Giger. I admire the biomechanical strength of H.R. Giger, the surreal nightmares of Zdzisław Beksiński, the dark engravings of Gustave Doré, the raw brutality of Francisco de Goya, and the intense chiaroscuro of Caravaggio. A dark and poetic aesthetic My work embraces an aesthetic inspired by vanitas art, dark photomontage, macabre symbolism, and gothic surrealism. I explore themes such as skulls, snakes, horns, organic textures, and the fragile beauty of decay. I also draw from gothic culture, dark fantasy, horror cinema, post-apocalyptic imagery, and the aesthetic of death metal and black metal album covers. An invitation into my world In my portfolio, you will mainly find gothic portraits and dark photomontages, where the macabre becomes visual poetry. I seek to capture that suspended moment between life and death, to reveal beauty in collapse and light in darkness. Welcome to my world.
