Born in Bogotá, Colombia, and based in New York City since 2014, my work operates at the intersection of historical memory and contemporary culture. Influenced by pop art, American dynamism, and the visual residue of the street, I draw equally from Western literature and philosophy to build images that are both timeless and provocatively present.

I have worked for nearly two decades with fashion designers, musicians, and artists, letting my vision evolve through practice and dialogue. While I formally studied photography briefly, my education has been primarily autodidactic—through analog and digital experimentation, literary exploration, and philosophical inquiry. The writings of Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Tirso de Molina, and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz anchor my work in narratives of illusion, fate, and power. In addition, I engage with the classics—Aristotle and the Presocratics, Thomas Aquinas, Francisco Suárez—as well as the German Idealists and post-Idealists: Fichte, Schelling, and Schopenhauer. These voices shape the conceptual scaffolding of my work, connecting metaphysics to material. In the contemporary field, the philosophical systems of Jesús G. Maestro and Gustavo Bueno continue to inform my understanding of culture, logic, and the structural dynamics of aesthetic production.

My practice employs a material structure grounded in four methodological spaces: ontological (being and presence), gnoseological (forms of knowing), anthropological (human behavior and ritual), and aesthetic (form and perception). These axes guide how I compose objects, gestures, and recurring themes in my work. In the nature of Renaissance harmony, Baroque drama, and the illusionism of Dutch still life, my images stage matter as a living archive—where the past does not disappear but mutates, transforming through intervention, repetition, and use.

At the heart of my work is the conviction that all human epochs share a rhythm—a gesture that returns, a silence that waits, a tension that binds. Photography, for me, is not about capturing moments, but assembling conditions for recognition across time.
