Heliophilia

𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮
(n.) desire to stay in the sun ; love of sunlight

Summer time, and the living’s easy…
Good living. Salty skin. Nose burns. Fresh apricots. Lavender breeze. Melanin. Sweet escapism. Release. Smell of sunscreen. Golden hours. Beautiful boredom. Palm shades. Agave. Chiaro-scuro. Freedom. Melted ice-cream. Hedonism. Barefoot luxury. Playing mermaids. Freckles. Bikini naps. Crickets. Effortless beauty. Vitamin D. What day is it? Happily slightly dazed. Ephemeral essence captured. To be caressed by the sun, for all eternity.

An ode to summer. My ultimate religion and sweetest addiction. A state of mind and a true celebration of life.

NEXT PROJECT

Portraits

A collection of big scale charcoal portraits depicting women from different cultural backgrounds, mainly black and African women.
“Growing up in a small country which happened to be quite closed in that time, my main contact with other cultures and people from other ethnic backgrounds was mostly through music and fashion magazines. Black women have always inspired and intrigued me which is why I started working on these charcoal portraits. They are a celebration of diversity and black beauty.”
