Artist Statement
When I was a child, I left in Timor, an island in South-East Asia. Color was everywhere, in the lush landscape, the tropical fruits, and the dress of the indigenous people. When I became a photographer, I worked in black and white for many years. Until I felt the need to recapture the feeling of being immersed in color. Now, I spend the summers in Portugal, and color is all around me again. I use photography and macro in particular to capture nuances of color and draw attention to small details that others might overlook.
