I’ve always been drawn to stories — not just the ones people tell with words, but the ones that live in their eyes, their spaces, the textures of their past. As a photographer, musician, and visual artist, my work lives at the intersection of all these worlds. What began as traditional portraiture has evolved into something far more layered: a visual symphony where photography, hand-painted details, and personal places come together to tell the full, messy, beautiful truth of a life.

​

Music taught me how to listen — really listen — to the rhythm behind a person’s presence. That sense of timing, harmony, and emotional depth flows into every portrait I create. I don’t just aim to capture someone’s face. I want to echo their essence, their memories, the stories they carry without speaking. Some of that comes through in the images. Some in the layers I paint. Some in the quiet fragments of places that shaped them. It’s all storytelling — just in different languages.

 

That’s how LAYAR was born. It’s the result of years of blending disciplines, of refusing to keep photography in a box. Soon, I’ll be adding lenticular printing into the mix — a technique that allows the image to shift as you move, revealing new layers and perspectives with every glance. Like a piece of music, the portraits won’t stay still. They’ll breathe, evolve, and interact with you.

For me, LAYAR isn’t just about making art. It’s about capturing the magic of being human — raw, complex, and alive in every frame.
