Visual arts
“The relationship between what we see and what we know is never clear. Every evening we see the sun setting. We know that the Earth is moving away from it. However, knowledge, explanation, never quite fit with vision.”
-John Berger

Saudade
In the end, where does belonging stand? Everything becomes cyclical, and belonging becomes fleeting: nothing lasts. “People become places, and places become people.”

Life by touch
A few months ago, I stepped into a darkroom for the first time. It felt like being inside a shared womb, creating life by touch, amid the smell of chemicals, the dance of development, alarms reminding us that time exists.

Growing up
I'm inspired by artists who convey real emotions and transport you to their world. For a few seconds, you forget your own reality and enter theirs. They transform simple moments into something that feels profound, intimate, and cinematic.

Letter to time
I think what motivates me most to photograph is the feeling that what I'm seeing is about to end, to fade away, to disappear and never return. I don't experience it as something tragic, but as an almost visceral need to preserve it, to make it my own.

I believe that to be a good photographer, it's important to live; it's not about shooting all the time, it's important to experience new things and thus open yourself to new perspectives. From time to time, in these spaces, I feel the urge to shoot, to create, but without haste, simply because life allows it.

Eclipse season
I love visuals, but sometimes I worry about falling into the trap of simply presenting "pretty pictures." For me, context is just as important as technique, and I have to constantly remind myself that one doesn't exclude the other.

Surreal Halo
Using flash photography, I isolate specific moments from the context of parties, aiming to give the scene a surreal and theatrical feel. With macabre, ironic, and surreal undertones.

Patina
I realized that pushing myself too hard is incredibly tiring and counterproductive, so now I try to give myself and my work some breathing room. Inspiration comes when it's meant to, and part of being an artist is knowing how to respect that space.

The land knows my steps
Through collage, I've learned to loosen up a bit on my obsessive side and let myself be guided by the images, the textures, and even the mistakes. I've discovered that this technique allows me to disconnect and find a calm that I don't always achieve with other mediums.

Watering my garden of wills
In this age of technological reproduction, it's a challenge to try to do something truly different when the construction of images feeds on everything visual we consume daily. Many contemporary critics claim that no one creates anything original anymore; however, I've come to understand that proposing something not necessarily new can also be meaningful.

Madre
I'm reading "Art Work" by Sally Mann. It was a push after finishing my first photobook, "MADRE", and starting something new to keep moving forward with my creative life. “This is a book about how to get shit done.”

The dance
I told my girlfriend about this fascination I had with hands, and she started moving them to the rhythm of the song. That's when I had this "clarity" about the language of our bodies.
