Traces of Reality
My photography work is mainly about expressing the world we all live in when we close our eyes and see to the inside. Dreams, fears, loved ones, angels, demons, hopes, flowers, faces, ethereal landscapes and seascapes are all recurrent topics in my work that I believe are part of this “collage” we create in our own “private” internal world.
My camera and post-processing mechanisms are the tools I use to create these imperfect representations of the internal world I intensely live in. Black and White is my favorite way to express my work basically because I believe this is the perfect medium to create a parallel, alternative reality that is more suitable to closely reproduce people’s internal “realities”.

entry description
This series is an abstract work inspired by Pablo Picasso's quote "There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality", so in this work I started with a basic subject that I simplified to the point of turning it into an abstract work.about the photographer
