Personal note:

Of formation in Technical drawing and Industrial Design, my soul is in the photography. The Photography is what makes me lose the conscience of the space/time and it’s just right now my more valued interest.

I am Deconstructor: I consider myself to be a “rebel” person since always when I start a new project I think " ¿ and if we do it upside-down, would what happen? " I could never have accepted the things "because they are" and always I have considered to give them the return always from its meaning. I am definitively partial to the Deconstrution understood from its philosophical point of view, in which a "theoretically” ugly and anonymous object, can be transformed in the most beautiful image ever seen.

My photographies have the intention of making THINK the visitor, and with a bit of imagination a bit of wall can be a fascinating image .... I believe that it is very interesting to learn to value our environment because BEAUTY IS EVERYWHERE, only it is necessary to learn to look,

The recent trip to New York this October 2007 to receive the First Prize of Abstract Photography in the Lincoln Center of Perfoming Arts of Manhattan,has been very wealth-producing and I believe that this will mark my future of a determinant form. More than 5000 photos shot in 6 days can corroborate it.

I have remained in love with the great metropolis and feel very inside me that my professional future will be tied to New York and all my energy are now focused in one idea: AMORÓS IN NEW YORK
