What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
Currently I’m working on an ongoing documentation of the everyday, shaped by my movement through spaces, familiar moments, and others that are unknown. Rather than closed projects, my practice functions as a process of exploration and inner discovery, where each image becomes an episode that feeds into a larger project focused on maintaining my sense of wonder, feeling present, and nurturing an internal dialogue.
What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?
I learned to observe without the need for a specific motive or a predefined structure. In that process, I also unlearned the need to professionalize a hobby that, in my particular case, is born from nostalgia and memory.
What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?
The idea of recovering something that belongs to me, reconnecting with myself, and allowing myself a mental “truce” through photography.
Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?
Personally, I prefer music over film and reading. Over the past few months I’ve been enjoying a variety of new pieces from Latin American folk rock. I’ve also noticed what I consider a resurgence of bolero—something I deeply admire and appreciate—which has been accompanying me lately. Perhaps not during the moments when I’m out taking photographs, but certainly during the moments of introspection that arise from my practice.
What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?
Living with the repetition of everyday life and accepting that it’s not always possible to break away from routine, without allowing that to limit the creative process.
What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?
I prefer not to limit myself to favourites. I believe my tastes today may not be the same in a couple of years, so I try to maintain a mindset of “zero expectations.”
If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?
It would probably be something like Reboot From Recover, and the soundtrack would be created by Maceradoz and Feng Suave.

I draw a lot of inspiration from the great Carlos Xastillo, who does excellent portrait work. He manages to convey warmth and closeness with the people he photographs. Additionally, I deeply admire the work of Oscar Alvarado, who has an almost clinical precision in street photography. His work never stops surprising me, and that’s exactly what I seek in my own work: the ability to be amazed. His approach to urban photography is organic and natural, yet always controlled and precise.
