About The Artwork

All components of the artwork were taken or created by the author A3 Edition (limited to 100 ud) - Total size: 29.7 x 42 cm - 11.7x16.5" - Image size: 24 x 36 cm - 9.4 x 14.2" - Margin size: 2.85 x 3.0 cm - 1.1 x 1.2" Artwork description: Some people confuse the image of the stream inside the window to the forests in my birth country. However, there is a distinctive feature that the attentive observer will not overlook: the presence of fern trees which give a prehistoric look to Australian subtropical forests. The facade belongs to the Prado Museum, the most important art gallery in Spain. The beauty of these forests, with their abundance of species and fauna, causes a fascination for them that grows inside like the moss that covers the rocks of this stream. One would sometimes like to open a window, jump in and get lost in the leafy foliage of these wonderful places. [Note: I show the detail of the grass sprouting up on the sidewalk so that the sharpness in the depth of field of the image can be appreciated, from the very first close-up to the end (achieved using 4 photographs with different focus point, by means of a technique called focus stacking)] Significance of the artwork: This artwork shows how connected we are with nature, how it boosts our well-being. About the media: About the brand of the paper, I use Canson because they provide outstanding quality paper. They have been in the market producing paper for artists for over 400 years. About the particular model of paper, I have selected Canson Infinity Platine Fibre Rag cotton (Palace Edition) and Baryta Photographique 100% alpha cellulose (rest of editions), two Fine Art satin papers. These models of papers provide a photorealistic look, which turns imagination into a real situation, confusing the viewer. On the other hand, I have also printed this artwork using Canson Infinity Edition Etching Rag (matte Fine Art paper, 100% cotton) and the result, less realistic and more pictorial, is also very pleasing, and recommended if you are planning to place your artwork facing a window (Edition Etching will remove any reflection). If you prefer your artwork printed in Edition Etching Rag just send me a quick email to let me know.

After returning to his place of origin, he will observe it in a different way, as his references will have changed. This artistic series shows the spontaneous visions of a past period in my life, my stay in Australia for 5 years, mixed with scenes of my current daily life. In most cases these visions include two elements: the Australian natural heritage with the (European) cultural heritage. Nature reminds us of where we are coming from. Culture, how far we can go. With this series I have wanted to experience how both worlds could interact if they were merged. An impossible desire to satisfy, but at least visually possible now

I was born in Barcelona (Spain) in 1977. Shortly after I moved to Madrid and then to Cáceres, a small but charming town, as evidence the fact that it is a World Heritage Site by Unesco. I remember my childhood climbing to every place I could, continuously running, playing and fighting with my siblings, visiting the countryside every weekend, reading all I could (I used to devour Roald Dahl’s books), spending time with friends in the old town of Cáceres and travelling around Europe with my family in summer. I discovered my passion for photography at the age of 13. Something great happened before buying my camera: I went to the shop so many times to ask doubts that finally the bookseller gave me a photography book, which I instantly memorize, what helped me to become a better photographer from the beginning and to boost my motivation. At the age of 15 I had to move to Madrid. In that complex period of transition, at least I had my camera to keep creating and investigating new techniques. Soon I became interested in multiple exposures and zoom burst, techniques that helped me to win my first photography competitions, already in college time. In that same period, I bought a medium format camera. This type of camera has a higher film size than a full frame camera. Despite its weight, it helped to further increase my passion for photography, not only for its impressive image quality but for its absence of automatisms, what made the shooting a more premeditated, elaborated and artisanal act. At the end of my university studies I passed a test to be able to enrol in a studio photography course. Working in a studio, with just the dimly modelling lights of the flashes, it turns out and continues to be a fascinating experience to me. For the training, we used large format cameras, which are cameras with a very big film size, able to produce breathtaking quality. Finally, I enrolled in a digital photography retouching course, which was exactly what I needed to create my artistic compositions. All this resulted in new sources of motivation for my photography. When I finished my degree, I traveled to England for a year trying to leave behind my academic studies, but finally I had to find a job as an engineer. After more than a decade working and living in different cities and countries, I decided to return to my almost natal Cáceres, to focus my activity on artistic photography.
