This collection features African tribes. Photographs capture real living testament of the rich ancient cultures and traditions still living among our modern world. Each tribe continuously practices their own unique customs, rituals, beliefs and way of life that is mutually respected among each other.

It was an incredible privilege to be able to socialise and get to know those great people who let me capture their portraits and their way of living.

In Kenya, I found myself in constant wonder and awe. The spectacular fauna and flora awoke my deepest passion for the animal world. Being there, I felt as if I was moving through invisible roads of fairy-tale, always ready to be surprised by marvellous 4-legged creatures. Those, almost mythical, majestic beings never ceased to stop my breathing or take my heart away.

Exploring through the dust of rugged and bumpy endless tracks, soaked in the opulent sun, I started feeling at One with Nature. The sound of heavy lionesses’ panting and her pungent coat scent; the hippos singing at night and the zebras’ narration of events; the musical elephants’ trumpets and wildebeests’ conversations; the vultures’ carefully choreographed dance over a kill and flamingos amusing rhythmic movements; the hyenas’ cheeky playfulness and curiosity and timid cheetahs’ meows. I always want to feel that way: so close to nature.

This is my artistic version of what I saw and of what will come next…

Flying 1500 feet over the Kati Thanda I felt like eating from the palms of Mother Nature’s hands. She was feeding me with the most delicious deserts: Blue Velvet cake, warm chocolate chip cookies, blueberry vanilla milkshake, fresh strawberry ice-cream, followed by fruity fairy floss and many more. I can easily imagine tasting those delicacies just by looking at those aerial photographs. I don’t know if anyone will believe me, but those are not yummy treats, those are salt formations 200 million years in the making. The only way to appreciate and capture this Nature’s wonder was by flying high and zooming out through an open door. Kati Thanda, known as Lake Eyre, allowed me to express myself as an artist by indulging into its spectacular ancient creations.
