title
GEOMETRY OF LONELINESS
I don't like photography that has no content and is just a meaningless visual game. I perceive content and form as the obverse and reverse of the same coin that is reality.
I am such an old-fashioned photographer that I believe in the decisive moment defined by Cartier-Bresson.
The photos presented here come from my various documentary projects carried out over the past years. They were taken in different parts of the world but it seems not to be relevant in this case. While carrying out my street project I have not shied away from using metaphors trying to create a universal story about some varieties of human loneliness. Geometric symbolism is treated by me here as a kind of bridge connecting people from different cultural circles.
Photographer (professional member of Visual Artists Ireland since 2019) and Philosopher (PhD) exploring human condition mainly through abstract and documentary photography although remaining open in all photographic directions. His photographs were exhibited in several groups and solo exhibitions in Ireland, the U.K, France and Italy.

entry description
I am not looking for originality and very complicated images by force, an unattainable pattern for me is the humanistic heritage of the pioneers of black and white photography.I don't like photography that has no content and is just a meaningless visual game. I perceive content and form as the obverse and reverse of the same coin that is reality.
