ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Visually powerful, colorful and vivid, my photographs convey a story or a social statement fused with realism and the fantastic. My subjects are facing bizarre or surrealistic and sometimes incomprehensible social situations or absurdity. My work can lampoon meta-narratives like love, logic, religion or justice amongst other themes.
I love absurd humor, specially when people desperately assign significance in the most meaningless of objects, like seeing an image of Jesus image on a piece of toast. Those moments are just begging for me to have fun with it. Many of my future photos will draw their humor from the territory between what is true and what people believe to be true.
