ABOUT ME

I am truly passionate about photography. This began when I was very young. It grew and developed spontaneously in a self-taught manner. This has led me to learn about nature and respect it. A lot of times it does not show itself easily. It is there where intuition and patience are present, and in the end, it generally allows me to capture that special and ephemeral moment.

When creating my works, I seek to interpret reality based on my inspiration and ensure that within that frame the elements coexist harmoniously in a balanced and simple way, and this create an atmosphere of peace, pleasure, and relaxation.

At first glance, I invite the viewer to intuitively reach the imaginary thread that leads them to discover a story that unleashes feelings.

Project Statement Miami is unique and special. Its coast is bathed by the crystal clear Caribbean Sea. Its light is particularly bright and those of use who lived it individually contribute our talents making it very rich and with a very special personality. The contrasts are permanent. All this attracts and excites me. She tempts me challenges me to come up with my ideas sometimes with improvisations I take my camera I go out to explore that place that circumstance that fleetingly undresses showing me its intimacies to later create a photographic work that gives it permanence perpetuity and with this will sow seeds of demonym to the new generations and to those who are now longer so generating a sense of authentic belonging and love for the land that opened its arms to us giving us shelter protection and opportunities.
