"Tenebris Somniorum" means "Dark Dreams" in latin.
I decided use this language because it is an very ancient one, and most of my dreams had that scent of being of another life, a past one.
This self portrait series are based on recurring dreams over the years, where I explore the topics of death, drowning, sleep paralysis, the loss of loved ones and spiritual guides.
I have experienced recurrent dreams all my life and I have always felt that most of them might have a special meaning. Last year I started to think about the meaning of these dreams, about the possibility that they were persistent because I needed to give them an interpretation for them to show me something. I started to write down all those dreams as detailed as I could remember as well as the variations between the different versions of the same dream.
Reading those words over and over, some images started to form in my mind and I felt the need of not just creating them, but also to be the main character in all those scenes.
This is how I decided to bring them to life as a series, called “Tenebris Somniorum”.
