Conceptual nominee

I attended to a lecture by Andy Goldsworthy where he demanded to turn our view to nature and all the beauty that It’s got to offer. In this series I tried to maintain the dialogue proposed in my book Impronta in which pictures were taken in an urban scenario representing different images in a figurative way . Scenes that suggest very different dreamlike visions to the real object. His images of IMPRONTA are authentic puzzles of creativity and imagination to be completed by his point of view and the beholder. This psychological phenomenon is called “pareidolia”.
Now I wanted to get away from the confort zone with still takes me to exhibit in cities such as New York, Berlin, Paris, Seoul or Mexico. Now I want my pictures to be alive, I took pictures of living being to represent other living beings in a figurative way.
