Aurel J

"What I look for in every canvas is lightness — the kind that takes time to find."

Photographer and painter, trained in technique, film, theatre and the humanities, I grew up between Montmartre and Stockholm. These two cities shaped how I see: the French elegance of line, the Nordic clarity of light.

My two practices — photography and painting — share the same obsession: revealing what is already there.
