Only when you understand your own journey, you can tell somebody else's Story.

I'm a Cuban visual Artist and Photographer based in the South of France.
Born in Moscow to Cuban parents. I spend two years in an international students community before moving to Cuba with my mother. I emigrated alone to Germany at the age 24, where I started to explore other countries and cultures and that’s when I discovered photography.

I have spent over 10 years documenting my travels, friends lifestyles and my own family. After I moved to the south of France in 2018 with my husband, I found the courage to become a freelance photographer.

I’m not just a wanderer. As a very curious person and thirsty for knowledge, I not only visit a country I “travel” the culture. I immerse myself into foreign traditions, lifestyle and languages. This is the ingenious fuel for the narrative structure of my photos, the elements that feed my inspiration and have influenced my photography style.

I’m passionate about celebrating diversity and human connections. Inspire others to overcome cultural barriers and stereotypes and teach empathy and inclusion to future generations.
