Statement
I think that the universe is divided into thousands of pieces. Advances in photographic recording allow us to make cuts of our environment and thus be able to save them on a negative, on a memory card or in a global cloud.
I am continually exploring old photographic material, admiring its texture, light and all the micro cosmos that its frame contains. I let myself be carried away by the story that, I imagine, the characters and places in these black and white records would tell.
The cosmos and nature nourish my scenarios.
Collage encourages the mixing of elements and, in its digital variant, I find the precise medium to be able to develop quite direct metaphors. This technique allows me, regardless of space-time, to reorder each fragment and design surreal, impossible, sarcastic scenes with winks to reality (which seems to mock us). By merging and resignifying with current photos, I design worlds that rely on asynchronous contrast and saturation disparity.
I like to believe that I do a process of recycling images. In the constant modern bombardment of the networks, photographs are discarded very quickly and reusing them to continue showing beauty seems to me to be a way to overcome the passage of time.
If along the way I manage to transmit a new message to the present, I can continue moving forward to the next work.
