Whispers of the Ether
Photographer: Karin Maltempo
1. What significant life experiences or events have influenced and shaped your artistic vision?
In my art, I aim to communicate the depths of my inner world through contemporary means of expression such as photography and video. Having studied art from high school through university, I have always felt that creating is the most natural and powerful way to exorcise my inner demons. Every piece I make is born from the unconscious, a reflection of emotions, fears, and memories that rise to the surface through the creative act. My work becomes a dialogue between the invisible and the tangible, between what I feel and what I choose to reveal.
2. Collaboration often sparks fresh creativity. Can you share an example of a collaboration that led to an unexpected and exciting artistic outcome?
I believe that collaboration and the creation of a strong artistic community are essential, both emotionally and professionally. Creating together means building something that cannot exist in solitude. My most recent works were born from months of collaboration with a team that shares my passion and vision, and I can truly feel the difference. There is a certain kind of magic that appears when different energies and imaginations intertwine. The old saying “unity is strength” might sound simple, but in art, it holds an undeniable truth, that connection often gives birth to the most powerful beauty.
3. Walk us through a specific project that challenged your creative boundaries. How did you approach it, and what did you learn from the experience?
One project that deeply challenged me was an artistic nude photoshoot in the forest. It wasn’t a creative limit in the usual sense, but rather an emotional and psychological test. The fear of being seen or reported lingered in every moment, adding tension and vulnerability to the process. Yet, that same unease became part of the essence of the project, the fragile balance between freedom and fear, exposure and expression. In the end, I understood that art often emerges exactly where courage meets discomfort, where creation transforms fear into beauty.
4. In the ever-evolving art world, what do you believe sets your work apart and makes it unique or groundbreaking?
My work is a mirror of my reality. I believe that each of us is a small universe, a constellation of experiences, desires, and contradictions. What makes my art unique is the authenticity of that reflection. As long as I remain faithful to who I am, my work will carry its own rhythm and voice. True originality, to me, is not something that can be forced or invented; it’s something that blooms naturally when we create with honesty and awareness.
5. As you reflect on your journey, are there any specific goals or milestones you've set for your artistic career in the coming years?
I hold many dreams for the future. I want to live fully through photography and cinema, not only as a profession but as a way to translate my soul into images. I wish for my art to become a space that others can draw from whenever they need it, to feel, to imagine, to heal. To be seen, and to truly see.. that is the essence of what I seek. I dream of capturing the world through my lens, of traveling, creating, and collaborating with great professionals who share the same passion for storytelling and beauty. My path is guided by a single vision: to keep reflecting, through images, the infinite landscapes of the human spirit.

A visual reverie suspended between eras — where the female form becomes a vessel for dreams and fading memories.
Delicate fabrics, hand-beaded details, and muted tones evoke a sense of romantic decay. Natural elements and tactile imperfections — pressed flowers, burned edges, misty light — transform beauty into ritual and remembrance.
The figure emerges through a haze, as if from another realm: an apparition of quiet strength and ephemeral grace.
