I believe cinema must be a weapon to visualize stories with a social conscious message. My work is a halfway between fiction and documentary. I look for the poetry of reality.
In this sense, I like to craft oniric universes where dreams and reality conveys creating an atemporal timeline. Also, the nature plays an important role for me: Nature must reveal the true identity of my characters as an omniscient witness. In that manner, my characters are deeply connected with the space they live in.
​The space became a psychosomatic reflect of their inner world.
