As an artist my goal is to produce images that transcend documentation to reach beyond the limits of the subject matter.
I am a photographer with a passion for architecture and the man-made environment and landscape. With these, I have created many of my series, some of them titled: Lines, Cemeteries, Fragments, Obscuros and Fantasmas, among others.
When photographing architecture, imagination, expression, abstraction, composition, emotion, time, aesthetics, reality, relationships, drama and humanism are some of the dimensions to explore. The skill of the architecture photographer will determine if the images are documentation or art.
I have been fascinated by cemeteries and the various forms of expressing life and death that roams these sacred fields. My Cemeteries essay is based on the dramatic situation grasped by my personal vision with the immutability of stone, sculpture and architecture, trapped between the light and the shadow. In an intent of capturing and holding the strength of life and defying the quietness of death, this funerary art is sometimes more lively than other kinds of art. I try to capture in my work the stillness of life trough the stillness of time.
My Abstract Series “Fragments” recreates, not an object, but the effect it produces, finding in the whole a more intimate form, and taking on an intuitive approach in order to see beyond the obvious. Using a symbolic vocabulary to obtain the strict transformation of the form, of what is given, of the concrete, of the already existing, into abstract forms, using lights and shadows to create a personal universe. Forms that, aside from superfluous details, attain a unity in which chance is not acknowledged.
