I believe every image holds an emotion that cannot always be expressed in words.

My work is born from light, emotion and human stories. I want to create images that do more than show what is happening: images that reveal what remains hidden behind every character, every silence and every gaze.

Being Roma means that my roots deeply permeate the way I understand cinema. My culture, my family and my way of observing the world inevitably run through the projects I create, giving them a different sensitivity and perspective. I do not see my roots as separate from my work: they are part of my gaze and of the stories I want to tell.

I graduated in Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts, specialising in Cinematography, and became the first Roma person in Spain to earn this degree. Reaching this point meant crossing paths that for a long time did not seem built for people like me. That is why I see cinema not only as a profession, but also as a way of opening doors.

I have developed my career as a director and cinematographer across fiction, advertising, music videos and photography. In every project I search for its own visual identity, because every story needs its own light, rhythm and way of breathing.

My ambition is to direct films, tell stories that endure and build a path others can continue. I want the Roma children who come after me to look towards this profession and feel that there is a place for them too.

An image may last only a few seconds, but a gaze can change the place from which we see the world.
