Ignacio Paniagua Lantelli

I am an International Award Winning Fine Art Photographer. Born in Argentina in 1993 , where I am currently living.

A digital camera ,my mother gift in my tenth birthday,was that sent my course to photography at an early age.
Entirely self-taught I found in the pursue of art my life task. Although been awarded internationally in other disciplines of art, such as literature , I have always have a strong attachment for visual language.

Having the opportunity to travel from a very young age, during my life I visited more than 20 countries on 4 continent. Always been interested in how man inhabit and call home every corner of this planet, I see myself with the mission to interpret this in my unique way . My art is an attempt to see human's construction and humanity itself from an homogeneous point of view. Leaving aside the superfluous and banal, that many times, get in the way.

ARTIST STATEMENT

We make art to support our journey, we want to understand and communicate it.This connect us with the viewer, building a bridge where there was nothing before. Through my work I encourage a dialogue about the fears, aspiration, interest and passion of humanity seen as a whole

I believe that with enough effort and work, I would force life into the pictures, accomplishing to communicate in that way, what it cannot be seen. Every photograph is created searching this state, always in the persue of a perfection that is never obtain.

Each image involves weeks of travel, a lot of times returning again and again to the same buildings, and the same monuments, in search of minimum changes in the light. It is also the labors of hundreds of hours in the editing process, selecting and creating the final image, working with the maximum level of detail possible.

What motivate me is the promise of happiness and meaning that it is find in the act of creation, but that it also disappear toward the completion of the work, leaving one with the feeling of the uncompleted task.As it has been said, art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. but for me, also it is what bear the weight of life itself
