I asked you to stop thinking about me - Limited Edition 1 of 3 Photograph

Photography: Black & White – Silver Print on Ildford Fiber Baryta base “I asked you to stop thinking about” (Title) The story "My sunken ships with women's names" forms part of the change produced by viewing the world as it's suffered by the author. An open storytelling of his solitude, a psychoanalysis of his thoughts, which through the medium of the poem gives the series its title and brings us closer to his own reality. In this series this author puts aside all other stories and concentrates solely on himself, on his moment. "Reflecting on oneself, with sincerity, produces pain on many occasions, but it's there that I've found the photographic keys which unlock the world and set it in motion." His family, friends and nearby places are the protagonists of this narrative universe which makes us reflect with every image, exposing ourselves to the severity of the author's deepest thoughts. In spite of the proximity of the subjects photographed, the portraits become harsher and the compositions simplified in order to draw out an expressive synthesis from each of them. As if describing the contents of a field diary we can say that Urbina is sketching a “taxonomy of his most intimate world”. Raul Urbina, a Spanish Artist, write down what he feels at every given moment and describing what he's writing about with every image. ITEM SPECIFICS: The work is also available in 2 sizes.

STATEMENT BY RAUL URBINA: Creating stories from each single image, searching through the different realities which surround it, whether they're inherent or from somewhere else. Places where the visual creation is subordinate to the written work, forming a poetic inventory of our time which acts as a solid base in Raul Urbina's work. The result is a series of small visual poetic creations, all open to the viewer's own interpretation of them. The titles of each work, in many cases, form part of the short poems written within that same creative process, in some cases in the same place and at the same moment. "On many occasions, when I shoot I'm thinking of the title of the work and this serves as a point of reference for me." The tale which Urbina weaves casts aside the formal aspect in order to show the creator's sensitivity at the moment of approaching the personalities, places and objects which surround him.
