Noctra is the name under which I explore a quiet, imagined world — a visual universe shaped not by what I see, but by what I remember or dream. Each image begins as a vision and takes shape slowly, through a meticulous process that can take up to ten days.
I work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, advanced photo editing, and manual refinement. Nothing is left to chance. Every composition evolves through continuous adjustments, layer by layer, until light, atmosphere, and color perfectly match the image I carried in my mind.
With over thirty years of experience as a professional photo editor and deep expertise in tools like Lightroom, I treat each artwork as a unique object — closer to painting than photography.
My goal is not to reproduce reality, but to suggest an emotional echo of it. Each piece is a suspended scene: women, flowers, oversized botanicals, soft shadows, impossible calm.
All works are available as limited edition fine art prints, signed and numbered by the artist, and printed on museum-quality archival paper using pigment-based inks of the highest quality.
