AUTHOR
I was born in 1968 in the south of France and raised between an Armenian father and an Austrian mother. After the death of my grand-parents, I decided to become a physician and I finished my specialization in Paris where I worked a lot on the AIDS and C hepatitis epidemics. I spent about twenty years in Paris and some years in Vienna too, before coming back in my native land in 2016. I started to take pictures in the same time I began my medical study. Photography is a way for me to catch a few fragments of humanity in our "disintegrating" modern society. I'm very sensible to the problematics of poverty and immigration, the confrontation between the pursuit of our origins and the necessity of integration.
