How would you describe your personal visual code?

Right now I am in the process of shaping it. I see it as something fluid that grows with me. I am drawn to contrast elegance and effortlessness. I do not want to define it too soon because I am still discovering what truly feels like me. Let’s just say I am in the sculpting phase.

What fashion eras or designers shape your aesthetic?I am deeply inspired by the era of Romanticism and Antiquity. I enjoy combining the rigid elegance of Romanticism with touches of Antiquity, occasionally blending in elements of boho glamour and Gothic sophistication.

How do you relate to the concept of fashion as art?

Absolutely YES! i believe that the person themselves is true art. When we choose our looks or style, we are not simply putting on clothes, we are expressing our inner “self” through them, like a canvas upon which our individuality is painted. Appearance is the first stroke that allows the world to see us, and it is often based on this that people form their first impressions. Clothing can be more than just fabric: it can convey philosophy, emotions, and aesthetics, almost like little works of art.

What unusual shoot concepts have you particularly remembered?

I do not think anything can truly be better because each concept holds its own creative value. But I have always been drawn to animalistic themes in photography. They inspire me and resonate on a deeper level. There is something powerful in how these visuals reflect raw instinct and strength. It feels honest and almost primal which is what I love most.

Have you ever had the chance to work with animals on set or is that something you’ve always dreamed of doing?

Actually my dream of working with animals came true recently. I had a shoot with horses and it turned out to be one of the most unforgettable moments of my journey so far. I felt inspired and completely present. I got really close to them, not just physically but emotionally too. There was one horse in particular I bonded with deeply. We shared a kind of silent understanding. I could read his energy, his reactions, even his calm. It was more than a shoot, it felt like a meeting of two worlds.

Dreams or actions?

Planning. Because it’s what unites these two things.

Inspiration or discipline?

I believe that discipline can transform inspiration into something greater. So yes, I choice discipline.

CLASSIC OR EXPERIMENTAL? EXPERIMENT. I AM ALWAYS DRAWN TO DISCOVERY AND UNEXPECTED CHOICES. EXPERIMENTING ALLOWS ME TO PUSH BOUNDARIES, EXPLORE DIFFERENT SIDES OF MYSELF, AND STAY ALIVE IN THE PROCESS. CLASSICS ARE IMPORTANT, BUT TRUE ENERGY COMES WHEN YOU DARE TO GO BEYOND THEM.

Recommend your followers some movies that inspire you?

"THE HOLY MOUNTAIN" (1973), "THE COLOR OF POMEGRANATES" (1968), "FAUST" (1926), "THE SEVENTH SEAL" (1957), "SOLARIS" (1972), "DUNE" (1984), "THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA" (2004), "BLADE RUNNER" (1982), "MATRIX" (1999). THESE FILMS INSPIRE ME FOR DIFFERENT REASONS - SOME FOR THEIR SYMBOLISM AND DEPTH, OTHERS FOR THEIR VISUAL UNIVERSES, AND ALL FOR THE WAY THEY PUSH PERCEPTION AND STAY WITH YOU LONG AFTER WATCHING.
