Born in Bogotá, Colombia, and based in New York City since 2014, my work operates at the intersection of historical memory and contemporary culture. Shaped by pop art, American dynamism. My practice treats photography as a constructive and material discipline rather than a purely representational one. The images aim to be simultaneously grounded in historical continuity and sharply present in contemporary experience.
Over nearly two decades, I have worked with fashion designers, musicians, and artists, allowing my vision to evolve through sustained practice and dialogue. Although my formal photographic education was brief, my formation has been largely autodidactic, developed through analog and digital experimentation, visual research, and long-term engagement with the major periods of Western knowledge. These include classical philosophy, medieval scholastic thought, early modern rationalism, Enlightenment systems, and post-Enlightenment critiques of subjectivity and representation. Rather than citing these traditions, I work from them as operative structures that shape how images are constructed and read.
My practice is organized through four methodological spaces: ontological (being and presence), gnoseological (forms of knowledge and perception), anthropological (human behavior, ritual, and recurrence), and aesthetic (form, composition, and visual tension). These coordinates guide how objects, gestures, and spatial relationships are composed across serial bodies of work. Drawing from Renaissance balance, Baroque dynamism, and the material illusionism of early modern still life, my images stage matter as an active archive—where the past does not vanish but persists through transformation, repetition, and use.
At the core of my work is the conviction that human epochs share structural rhythms: gestures that return, tensions that reappear, and forms that reorganize themselves across time. Photography, in this sense, is not a tool for capturing moments, but a method for assembling conditions of recognition—where the present is understood as materially continuous with what came before.
