DIGITAL TENEBRISM


Photography has experienced a global resurgence in recent years thanks to digital cameras, “smartphones,” and social media, popularizing this art form and globalizing created images.


Since 2008, when I abandoned analog photography, I have been fully immersed in digital photography. Since 2011, I have primarily used the iPhone for capturing and editing.


My images capture intense contrasts of light and darkness, both in nature and the urban environment. I aim to bring photography closer to classical painting and analog language, utilizing the immediacy and universality of the digital medium.


I seek the unique piece, breaking away from conventions. By incorporating textures, playing with contrasts, and saturating colors, I create unreal worlds more akin to pre-Impressionist painting than traditional photography.


I pursue a new kind of digital tenebrism. My smartphone transforms into my camera, my camera obscura, and my portable photo studio, where the creative process is based on a machine initially not designed for this purpose. Photography today detaches itself from the medium, allowing us to focus on creativity, all in the palm of our hand. In these images, you will find my vision of our surroundings crafted from light and shadows.
