About Me

Best knowen for my work in painting and illustration, been drawing since the age of 3-4 I was always fascinated with art from classic Disney animated films to the masters of the Renaissance. I'm highly educated in painting, studied animation at university for 4.5 years and been working in the field of art ever since I was 17.

I've always been attracted to human anatomy, mainly the male form and especially the works of Michaelangelo.

A few years ago I ventured into the world of photography, following my constant desire to expand my horizons, test my limits and see what other mediums are out there for me to use as a tool to make my dreams a reality.

My main goal in joining MM is to find creative, interesting individuals to collaborate with in bringing both of our visions to life. I'm always open to help out a model or a fellow artist in taking thought into action and by that expanding both portfolios, knowledge and talents. I believe that art, like life, is best when it's not spent alone and I'm looking forward to meet and work with new people.

Always give respect to my collaborators and their visions and if you're an aspiring model, make-up artist, stylist who would want my help in capturing your creations, talents and gifts, just send me a word and lets see how I can help you out in manifesting your dreams. Though I keep an open mind, however, I am not interesting in portraying everything and anything in my work. That said, please do not ask me to capture excessive violence, porn, animal cruelty or any other visuals that my seem racist and/or intolerant to other people and/or their life style, faiths and religions.

I've been lucky enough to collaborate with some amazing individuals, beautiful inside-out and also managed to join forces with the people and visionaries I look up to the most. (partial list of credits below), and I'm looking forward to start this new path of my journey.
