Optimism

Photography is a tool for dealing with things everybody knows about but isn't attending to. My photographs are intended to represent something you don't see. (Emmet Gowin) I feel very lucky to be able to travel sometimes to very special places. Always looking to find ordinary things and try to captured them into extraordinary by using the psicological phenomenon of pareidolia. Usin this tecnic I try to make people see images in their rutine urban lives that they don’t usually see or pay attention. Sometimes unconsciously, I deconstruct reality in geometric elements harmoniously balanced in the final composition. Some other times i take big frame images of buildings or urban scenarios into a totally different image. From everyday items I composes - with an economy of means - scenes that suggest very different dreamlike visions to the real object. His images could be authentic puzzles of creativity and imagination to be completed by his point of view and the beholder.
