A young self-taught artist, with a restless and inquisitive mind, with a great desire to explore and show the world from a different perspective.
From a young age, he sought contact with art, initially through drawing. Later on, he was looking for a field that would help him freely express his feelings and emotions.
When, at the age of 24, he bought his first digital SLR camera during a trip to Europe, he immediately realized that this was what he was looking for.
After returning, he started taking self-portraits, which had a strong impact on his style.
His passion became telling fantastic stories in which the basic element of creation is the human body.
His photography is distinguished by intense, saturated colors. They are very important in his paintings, as he says: “colors can tell a whole story and can drastically change the entire message of a painting. Additionally, processing is a very important part of my process, because here I can express exactly the idea that I had in my head."
You can easily notice that in his photos the colors always harmonize with each other (outfit, place, accessories) and each of his photos tells a story, his thoughts and feelings will appear in many of the photographs.
Ronny writes: “During this extraordinary event, which will be our workshops in Greece, which I can't wait for, I will discover to you where my inspiration comes from and how my inner influences the images I create. I will share all the secrets with each of you, thanks to which you will be able to learn the entire process of my craft. I am very happy that we will meet and I assure you with all my heart that I will pass on to you all the knowledge and skills that I have”
