Extract:
“I build every image with the awareness of the photographic act, but I cannot write with light without shadow. It is the ink of the visions that punctuate the wanderings guided by the sun. It is she who sculpts the spaces of the medinas and palm groves, the courtyards of the mosques and the reflections of the canals. It is the shadow always that cuts, at the equinox or solstice, the rays carved in the stone of the temple of Abu Simbel or loaded with incense in the abbey of Ganagobie. And draws the flames of the candles that vibrate in the sevillian naves inhabited during holy week.
I learned framing by observing painting, and I finished my architectural studies with a view to being a scenographer. I graduated with a study on the role of Baroque architects in theatre, and on the effects of perspective in illusory settings.
This work made me understand the difference between natural compositions and symbolic stagings. The images to which I remain attached are the most “mysterious”. They aim to emphasize, in our age where the virtual reigns, the border between the possible and the artifice, the visible and the invisible.”
