Bio

I’m a fine art photography artist who specializes in surrealistic photography. I come from a mixed South American-European background, with half Italian and half Brazilian roots, and was born in Quito, Ecuador in 1986. As an artist, I’m constantly traveling around the world and currently reside in Rome, Italy. 

Path

My journey began with a bachelor studies in photography and visual art, and several collaborations with studios linked to this area, followed by a career in advertising, fashion photography with several magazine publications, and film backstage photography. Among the most recent activities there are the collaborations as photographer manager, art director, professor of photography and photo-retoucher. Currently My work is guided by a deep aesthetic research and completely dedicated to the art world. 

 

Artistic Themes

My artistic themes involve the deconstruction of the cornerstones of the dream. This includes the absence of space-time contours, the repetitive nature of the subject, the chromatic decontextualization of urban spaces, and the exploration of human duality. I use both analog and digital photography to embody my visual analysis. In some of my projects, these mediums can be present in the same photograph through a long and complex process of film development, scanning, and digital image editing. The value of the film merges with the ethereal one of the imagination, which I aim to preserve with a "manual" editing process.
