About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be creative, be imaginative, be free.

ABOUT ME

Traveler, independent filmmaker and free thinker.
I used get by with IT consultancy (sounds serious but it is not), but the real passion has always been visual art and motion picture.
I studied humanities in high school, macromolecular chemistry in university. I love traveling by bike.
Of course I do love cinema and photography.
I'm a researcher of beauty and grace. There's plenty of it all around... still to be found.

PHILOSOPHY

Imagination is a form of inconsistency.
And inconsistency is an art form.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the things I'm always struck by is how people conceive 'love'.
There are millions of meanings for this simple concept that makes the life going on.
To me is the platonic, intangible, ethereal sense who plays most of its magic.
One day -whilst I was crossing Mongolia by bike- I came across a very beaytiful family, mom, dad and two sons.
I was their guest for a night so they asked me to rest a bit and to sleep in their 'ger', the typical mongolian tent.
We shared a simple diner togheter, big smiles and then the warmth of the wood-burning stove.
After that, with crystalline naturalness and simplicity, they made love for the whole night with me 'sleeping' in a bed 1 meter far and one of the son in the same bed as them.
I mean, the whole night... i felt 'a bit' embarrassed during that night. They were so natural and loud that I couldn't figure out anything but the fact that this should be the 'love-making format' of my friends mongolians.
And they were so 'clean' and so 'pure' doing it: no barriers, no conditionings, no aesthetics... just their 'love'.
Can't forget it.
