ART
Art is the space in my portfolio for Fine Art and contemporary photography, created in line with my particular vision as an artist, to express a message, a simple idea or a subtle emotion, sometimes from a dream, always from my world. I am trying to present new perspectives on even more traditional themes and compositions.
Me, Myself and I
With this new series, I intend to introduce an image of the normalisation of sexual and gender diversity, demonstrating that it is simply another characteristic of human existence, regardless of one’s choice or orientation, while also affirming the right of each human being to be recognised as a unique individual. It could also be valuable in fostering dialogue, not only among visitors but also with institutions and media, to represent the emotions of many of those who, for personal reasons, prefer to remain anonymous.
- Nudity. In my images, I work with the nude, as a powerful tool for presenting vulnerability, contrasting fragility with strength.
- Visibility and representation of people living in hiding, forced into invisibility out of fear of retaliation or cruel judgement.
- Identity validation. It offers the opportunity to see themselves reflected authentically and positively, providing emotional well-being.
- Generate empathy and showcase a social reality in which we can all coexist, emotionally connecting with the viewer.
- Show diversity by breaking stereotypes and showcasing the richness of races, body types, ages, sexual orientations and/or gender identities.
Life in Neutral
Over time, life in neutral runs the risk of becoming monotonous. By avoiding extremes, one also avoids great joys, deep learning, and personal growth. The neutral line does not hurt, but it does not push forward either. It is a place where dreams remain intact because they are never put to the test and where the fear of losing is stronger than the desire to win. Even so, the neutral line does not have to be permanent. It can be a necessary stage, a resting point before gaining momentum. The real challenge is knowing when to cross that line and choose again, accepting that life, to truly feel alive, needs movement, risk, and emotion.
Many people arrive at this point after painful experiences, when an excess of passion or expectations has left wounds. It is remaining on an invisible line where life is observed from a distance, as if one were a spectator of their own story, sometimes feeling exhausted, apathetic or despair, as well.
The neutral line can be a refuge, where decisions are postponed and emotions are tempered, seeking balance rather than intensity. However, that very stability can turn into a silent cage.
