Walking across Flores Island, in the heart of the Azores, during the month of April was one of the wildest, most beautiful, and most transformative adventures of my life. Alone with my backpack and my thoughts, I crossed the island endlessly on foot, from the south to the east, from the west to the south, from the north to the east …
Every day became a long expedition into nature and into myself. I would leave at sunrise and keep walking until darkness swallowed the island. Some days I covered nearly 40 kilometers, moving through landscapes that felt untouched by time. I walked beside waterfalls falling from green mountains, through silent villages where barely a sound could be heard except the wind and distant birds, and along dramatic cliffs where the ocean crashed endlessly below.
Flores felt alive in a way I had never experienced before. The island breathes slowly. Its silence is powerful, almost sacred. There were moments where I could hear nothing except my own footsteps, the rustling grass, the rain moving across the hills, and the deep Atlantic waves colliding with the volcanic rocks. In that silence, I felt completely immersed in the island.
The wildlife and raw nature made the experience even more magical. Everywhere, water was flowing, waterfalls, streams, rain, ocean spray, giving the island a feeling of constant movement and life.
Some trails were breathtakingly dangerous. Walking alone on narrow paths above the ocean, surrounded by fog and powerful winds, was both thrilling and intimidating. There were moments where I felt incredibly small compared to the force of nature around me. Yet those moments became the most unforgettable. They reminded me how wild and untamed the world still is.

What made Flores truly special was not only its beauty, but its remoteness. The island felt like the edge of the world, isolated, mysterious, peaceful.And that’s what exactly I was looking for … There was no rush, no noise, no distraction. Only nature, silence, and the rhythm of walking. Every step became meditation. Every climb became a lesson in endurance. Every moment alone became a deeper connection with myself and nature.

The wildlife and raw nature made the experience even more magical. Everywhere, water was flowing, waterfalls, streams, rain, ocean spray, giving the island a feeling of constant movement and life.
Some trails were breathtakingly dangerous. Walking alone on narrow paths above the ocean, surrounded by fog and powerful winds, was both thrilling and intimidating. There were moments where I felt incredibly small compared to the force of nature around me. Yet those moments became the most unforgettable. They reminded me how wild and untamed the world still is.

What made Flores truly special was not only its beauty, but its remoteness. The island felt like the edge of the world, isolated, mysterious, peaceful.And that’s what exactly I was looking for … There was no rush, no noise, no distraction. Only nature, silence, and the rhythm of walking. Every step became meditation. Every climb became a lesson in endurance. Every moment alone became a deeper connection with myself and nature.

Flores island-Azores-April 2019.

Walking across Flores Island, in the heart of the Azores, during the month of April was one of the wildest, most beautiful, and most transformative adventures of my life. Alone with my backpack and my thoughts, I crossed the island endlessly on foot, from the south to the east, from the west to the south, from the north to the east …
Every day became a long expedition into nature and into myself. I would leave at sunrise and keep walking until darkness swallowed the island. Some days I covered nearly 40 kilometers, moving through landscapes that felt untouched by time. I walked beside waterfalls falling from green mountains, through silent villages where barely a sound could be heard except the wind and distant birds, and along dramatic cliffs where the ocean crashed endlessly below.
Flores felt alive in a way I had never experienced before. The island breathes slowly. Its silence is powerful, almost sacred. There were moments where I could hear nothing except my own footsteps, the rustling grass, the rain moving across the hills, and the deep Atlantic waves colliding with the volcanic rocks. In that silence, I felt completely immersed in the island.

Happy 80th birthday, Dad. Yesterday it was your birthday.

Five years have passed,
and still, time hasn’t learned how to carry you away.
You live in the quiet corners, and deep in my heart
you are still here, woven into who I am, guiding me every single day.

I miss you in all the ordinary moments,
the ones that matter most 🤍🖤🤍

Every day, I celebrate you, the life you lived, the love you gave, and the imprint you left on my heart that time cannot fade.

Happy birthday, Dad.
Forever loved, forever missed 🤍

Portrait of my dad.

Cycling along the crater ridge loop around Sete Cidades in São Miguel, Azores, 20.6 km of pure wonder.

The beauty here is overwhelming. Even as my legs burned and the rocky climbs tested every bit of strength, I couldn’t stop. Every turn revealed another breathtaking 360° view, pulling me forward.

It’s still spring, and the island is alive, lush, vibrant green stretching across this volcanic landscape. There’s something powerful in this place, where fire-shaped earth meets nurturing nature. Between the waves, the hills, and the endless sky, I found myself again, wandering, exploring, reconnecting.

It wasn’t easy getting up there, but reaching the top made every struggle worth it. Now, as I ride back, I carry these moments with me, grounded, grateful, and full.

I can only smile… ☺️😊 and look forward to the next adventure. This world is too beautiful not to explore.

Ezel, my “deli bal”, which means my crazy and sweet honey 🤍 in Turkish. My little Gemini nephew ☺️

Slowing down while waiting for the ferry from Ischia to Procida, under a glazing sun.
In Procida, I sketch quickly, some drawings unfinished. It’s so hot… and yet I couldn’t resist stealing a few minutes to rest, to let the pencil follow what the eye barely has time to hold.

There is something in these suspended moments that feels more real than the rush we so often call life. The unfinished lines say more than completed forms, they remind me that presence matters more than perfection, that to see is already enough.

And I can’t help but think of the world beyond this quiet pause. It often feels as though those who lead us are moved more by the impulse to dismantle than to build, as if urgency had replaced contemplation. Perhaps what is missing is not knowledge, but attention. Not power, but the capacity to pause.
Because to draw, even briefly, even imperfectly, is to enter into a different relationship with the world: one of patience, humility, and listening. It is to remember that beauty is not only something we create, but something we also learn to notice again.

Maybe what we lack, collectively, is this simple gesture: to stop, to look, to be touched by what surrounds us. To reconnect with that quiet, universal richness, the beauty that lives across cultures, in landscapes, in people, in fleeting instants like this one. Traveling, then, is not only movement through places, but a return to that awareness. A way of remembering what it means to be human. ✨💞

Today, I feel deeply shaken by the decisions taken by the Israeli government toward the Palestinian people. It leaves me with a heavy thought: today it is Palestinians, tomorrow it could be the Lebanese, the Iranian people, or any of us.

In the midst of this sorrow, I find myself drawn back to simple, beautiful memories, moments that remind me that the essence of life belongs to all of us, beyond borders, beyond politics. Nature, humanity, the quiet connections between us, these are the truths that unite us. We share the same planet, breathe the same air, and, in the end, we all leave this world in the same way.

So why is there so much anger and hatred, when we could simply coexist? Why can we not respect one another’s lives and ensure that every human being is treated with dignity and fairness, without the abuse of power or the manipulation of laws?

There was a time when my hands would translate the beauty of nature into drawings, soft, peaceful, and mindful. I would lose myself in seascapes, fully present, simply observing and absorbing. In those moments, everything felt still, connected, and whole !! Keep dreaming for a better world for all 💞

One of my happy places, the sea breathing slowly against the rocks.

Fish flicker like thoughts, silver and fleeting beneath the surface, while I drift among them, quiet, weightless.

A pencil in motion, paper catching the present as it happens, a live sketch, each line chasing light before it slips away 😊☺️
A camera resting nearby,fresh fruits, the taste of Italy on my lips, simple, sun-warmed, enough.

And above it all, the sun ☀️ holding everything in gold,
And warm in my heart, asking nothing more of me
than to be here.

A few minutes, a summer day, and time forgets to move.

Novocomum,Como, 1929.

Designed by Giuseppe Terragni, this early masterpiece of Italian Rationalism introduced a radically modern language to the historic city of Como. With its clean lines, horizontal windows, and curved glass corners, the building was once nicknamed “il transatlantico” for its resemblance to an ocean liner.

Inside, the same clarity of design continues in the staircase: a triangular vertical space where precise geometry meets delicate craftsmanship. Circular handrails, soft curves, and carefully proportioned details create a quiet harmony between structure, movement, and light.
A modern architecture revealed through its details.

Novocomum,Como, 1929.

Designed by Giuseppe Terragni, this early masterpiece of Italian Rationalism introduced a radically modern language to the historic city of Como. With its clean lines, horizontal windows, and curved glass corners, the building was once nicknamed “il transatlantico” for its resemblance to an ocean liner.

Inside, the same clarity of design continues in the staircase: a triangular vertical space where precise geometry meets delicate craftsmanship. Circular handrails, soft curves, and carefully proportioned details create a quiet harmony between structure, movement, and light.
A modern architecture revealed through its details.

Caught in my element, my happy place, where I embrace the world with my eyes, my heart, and my soul 📸

On the ferry to Ischia, with the sea stretching endlessly around me, taking photos of the “grande” Vesuvio, and wandering through the beauty of Giardini La Mortella… this is where I feel most alive.

I miss this feeling of traveling,photographing , the quiet magic of being exactly where I belong 🩶✨
Life has been beautifully busy lately, but I’ll be back on board soon… chasing horizons and moments once again 🖤 ☺️😊☺️
