“If I could paint, I would write.”

This sentence marks a turning point – the moment when the photographer’s gaze detaches itself from the artificial constructions of commercial photography and turns to a more open, more immediate perception. After years in which aesthetics had become a requirement and perfection a standard, the desire to see again with curiosity and incorruptibility emerges.

The focus is no longer on staging, but on seeing itself. The work deliberately dispenses with technical virtuosity or visual control. It searches for what is revealed when you look without shaping: for structures, colors, traces and surfaces – for a reality that quietly asserts itself.

The “BRUT” series follows this approach. Each picture remains open, fragmentary, unfinished. It does not tell a story, but leaves room for perception. In this way, photography itself becomes a process of letting go – of expectations, of routines, of the idea that beauty must be planned.

To paraphrase Marcel Proust: it is not about finding new landscapes, but about seeing with new eyes.
This “new seeing” is an act of innocence – an attempt to encounter the real without intention.
