My ouvre is centered around making photographs and witnessing the condition of the world around me. It is a conscious construction intended to be far from mass consumption photography. I try to show a certain reality, which matches my emotions and I work to create a significant vision of my environment. Before the multitude of images that surround us, I want my production to be viewed as the opposite of simple aestheticism, superficial and easy to read, and far from photographic truism.
My desire is to show the contradictions and paradoxes; the counterbalance of a world in progress which is impossible to deny. I am interested in the reality we don’t see.
