Chaos’ Sweet Introduction. 

Photography comes from a simple background: 1.Light and shadow, 2. What there is and what there is not. In an absolute white there is nothing, just as in total blackness there is nothing. 

 I am not interested in binary oppositions but in the spectrum in which things are mixed over contradiction. These ideas have served in my works as a metaphor to portrait our emotions. When they are too intense, we can’t see them or feel them. When light or blackness is too intense it can blind us but, at the same time, there is some mesmerizing attraction to it as for us to be driven by the closeness to that numbness.

Many times, life has made me dizzy, every time I have chosen a path to follow, another path crosses the one I have chosen first, then I think that the new one is the real one, but when I stop I realize I need to find a new path to reach another truth. It is over these concepts of fiction and reality in which my works are set.

First Movement: Dreams

Dreams are what one would want things to be, but objectivity seems to escape from us. Dreams can blind us but they can also liberate us. Life is what we make of it.

Second Movement: The Outside

For one to complete one self one might manipulate the other. It is in this interaction with the others, in those limits marked by the other, where we find our possibilities, our talents.

Third Movement: The Inside

 Only sometimes one is able to listen to oneself as to really feel what one was before being modified by all the elements that surround us.

Fourth Movement: Reality

Reality is the most conventional of our lies, the once in which we want to believe the most. It is also the one that harm us most, and the one from which we want to escape the most. I, as one among all the others, I create my own reality trying not to hang on to it.
