Conceptual nominee

This series portrays the conflicting sentiments mankind has been exposed to in recent times. Feelings of despair and aggression from a rare decease are represented by diffuse, blurred, dirty visions of forks, a daily used implement that represents our need to prevail as a species. Feelings of hope and irony are represented with exacerbated colors and, as in the leading image, with pray-like positions of the forks. The title of the project is also used as a means to convey the likely reaction we have all had when dealing with this, although with a slightly different yet coloquial expression.

From Santiago, Chile, Patricio is a civil engineer by profession, but a photographer by passion. He discovered and formalized his photographic instinct in the second decade of the 21st century, when he decided to dabble in this art as a form of artistic expression that would allow him to reconnect with ancestors and relatives who had been dedicated to various forms of plastic arts: photographers and painters for the most part.


The main trend of his development is an atypical combination of architectural photography with urban photography. A big fan of dramatic clouds and aged textures, he continues to perfect himself daily. His work has been recognized with awards by the well known #santiagoadicto Instagram account and the Municipality of Vitacura Bicentennial Park contest in Santiago. His most recent international achievements have been several Honorable Mentions at the 2020 and 2021 versions of the IPA photography contest.
