Inspired by the traditional ballad "El testamento de Amelia"
A visual narrative steeped in deep emerald tones and classical intimacy, where each image explores the melancholy of farewell, the fragility of the body, and the weight of quiet remembrance. The works capture the suspended stillness and contained drama of this traditional tale, bridging human vulnerability with theatrical darkness.
One pigment, two ways of holding the frame
A study of red as the central axis of the image. In its first phase, crimson confronts its complementary teal in a dialogue of chromatic tension; in the second, it is isolated against dark, neutral backgrounds, where the pigment stands alone and holds the entire composition.
I'm a self-taught photographer based in Vancouver, BC. I came to studio fine art portraiture from street photography, and color has been part of how I compose since my first photographs.
I grew up reading myths, legends and world history, and that is still where my images begin. Each series gets its own palette.
I build my photographs the way a painter builds a canvas. Each series takes its name and its palette from a pigment, and the light follows the chiaroscuro of old paintings.
The stories come from myths, legends and folk tales. I'm interested in the quiet moments inside them, and I want the images to feel still and lasting.
