Breaking trough
As a self-taught artist, he constantly works on refining his photographic style, and always keeping a balance between documental vision and listening to his inner Quixote.
Some of his most relevant work is his long-term project with the Colombian Armed Forces and the intervention of the San Antonio Metro Station (Medellín, Colombia) in 2015, with large format prints covering the main stairs of the station as part of a 2-year field project portraying the cultural richness of Antioquia, Colombia.
