Cryptocrystals
This is a serious that explores how light reacts by passing through these crystals, exalting their colors, shapes and textures, creating incredible patterns with unique designs and vibrant shades.
Through the use of a macro perspective my purpose is to show a hidden world, a crypto-word, that only nature would be able to build, making it possible to expose structures that normally could not be admired by the naked eye.
It is fascinating how we can identify in these abstract patterns and organic formations, characteristics analogous to much larger natural elements of our planet. Rivers, seas, mountains, waves, beaches, rock, ice, water. Each crystal appears to be from a separate universe with its completely individual compositions.
Because of this similarity these photographs appear to be of a fluid, ever-moving world, but in reality they are immobilized and eternalized in every part of these crystals.
Ever since I started shooting, my passion for this kind of art has grown naturally out of the desire to capture unique perspectives. With each image I hope to be able to portray the beauty of the object photographed showing its unique elements and patterns.
Through my work I look for an abstract but still natural result, developing an individual perspective and allowing you to also appreciate this new standpoint. My style can best be described as vivid and naturalistic, using simple compositions and combining lights, contrast and colors to capture even the most fleeting details, emphasizing how beautiful and intriguing is the planet where we live and call home.

Macro photographic series of crystals, known as agate, which is a variety of translucent quartz. This is a crystal characterized by its varied colors and arranged in parallel, straight and concentric bands, which creates this surprising effect when viewed closely.This is a serious that explores how light reacts by passing through these crystals, exalting their colors, shapes and textures, creating incredible patterns with unique designs and vibrant shades.
