I'M a JOURNARTIST
I was born in Caracas, Venezuela. I left my country in the 2000s with kind of a reputation already established throughout South America. Then I chosed to settle down my suitcases for some time in New York and then in France.
Inspiration
My starting point is the photographic recording of reality. Then, I modifie my original photographs in my digital lab. I develop pop photography in contemporary collage based on urban landscapes in unique artworks on canvas, photo paper, aluminum , acrylic or dematerialized video art creations.
I'm concerned about the Venezuelan crisis, the migration phenomena, climate change, the normalization of society, the post-truth and human condition in a changing world.
The first time I used a camera was in the seventies, during travel to Boconó, a nice Venezuelan town from the Andes side of the country. I took a picture of two ducks on a lake. I stole that picture because my father told me to hold his Kodak Instamatic while he was absent for some minutes.
I waited until the end of that holiday to see the precious moment printed in the paper some weeks later. My heart beat tremendously when I saw that unforgettable image. Since then, I have to confess that this is the kind of vital signs that had been guiding my artwork. The same blood pumping that tells me if I'm in the right way or not when I'm creating.
