Gaston Bertin

Gaston Bertin was born in France in 1965, he grew up in Barcelona, he went to college in the US and in Italy. He began doing his abstract photographic work while in he was completing his BFA at Parsons School of Design in New York.

Playing with light, focus, depth of field and perspective, I create my images with a camera - not a computer. Searching for things that do not exist I photograph handmade paper collages.

My pictures are sensations I perceive but cannot describe, I translated them through the emotional strength of color.

I intend to say nothing, I know it is impossible.
