Exoesqueletos
The architectural spaces through its composition are reduced to simple lines absent of color, where they emphasize the transitions between the white and the black. My vision of the buildings, of perfect geometric proportions, is based only on the relationship between the detail of the buildings and the sky, clear and bright. They remove all the foreign elements that envelop them and allow us to concentrate on the pure essence of architecture.
Through the capture and analysis of urban reality I move to the edge of reality through extremely clean, geometric and experimental forms, which lead us to a pure representation of experimental space. The multiplication of the large windows make the walls illuminated by sunlight, are living and dynamic spaces recreated by the elements that compose them, playing between geometrism, abstraction and pure minimalism. The final result reveals the loss of the structure's own functionality and converts them into a contrast between the natural and the artificial.

entry description
I present a series of photographs where I take the minimalist space to its maximum expression. All of them are black and white photographs, where I play with the architectural elements, achieving tranquil atmospheres that transport us to dreamlike spaces.The architectural spaces through its composition are reduced to simple lines absent of color, where they emphasize the transitions between the white and the black.

about the photographer
My work lends to different readings, which forces us to strengthen the look and to carrying out a personal reflection in front of each of my photographies. Architecture and urban landscape are my principal worry. The force of the angularities, the lights and the shades, especially in the white and black that the forms heighten and displace the topic to a background. With a very studied composition, where nothing stays at random, except the subjective aspect of the look, attempt that my photographies possess a special attraction which simplicity, cleanliness and quietude claim trasmitir the character of eternity inherent in the urban structures.back to gallery
