The Cathedral of the Sea
She has worked as a EU cultural project manager for ten years in Barcelona while spending her free time traveling with her camera in-hand. This gave birth to several documentary projects and travel series. In the last years, she developed her vision towards fine art photography. She finds her primarily source of inspiration during her long meditative walks. She is attracted by these places that convey intriguing and surreal narratives. With a keen eye on composition and a minimalistic approach, she turns small moments into timeless imagery.

entry description
Three people walk on As Catedrais beach located in Galicia on the northwest coast of Spain. I took this image a few days before arriving in Santiago de Compostela as I was making a little deviation on my 900km walk across Spain. It felt like an oasis. I will not forget the mystical sensation of these 30-meter high cliffs and geological formations rising up around me. I am fascinated by this kilometric coastline and its ever-changing atmospheres shaped by the tides, the weather and the fortuitous presence of human beings.about the photographer
