ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The old-style doors of Santiago de Querétaro symbolize the city's rich colonial heritage. They are often found in the historic district, set within beautifully preserved stone facades that reflect the Spanish baroque influence dominant during the 17th and 18th centuries. Typically crafted from sturdy wood, these doors are accentuated by intricate ironwork, displaying artistic designs that range from simple geometric patterns to elaborate floral motifs. Many of these doors open into grand courtyards, another hallmark of Querétaro's architectural style, where residents and visitors alike are greeted with the elegance of arched walkways and central fountains. This blend of practical fortification and artistic design symbolizes the importance of security, privacy, and grandeur in the colonial period, reflecting the city's status as a crucial site during Mexico’s fight for independence and its vibrant religious life, filled with the spiritual energy of churches, convents, and monasteries.

I began my journey in photography with a deep love for historic processes, particularly Platinum printing, drawn to its rich tonal range, archival quality, and the inherent beauty of the prints. Over 25 years later, I now use digital photography to explore color and tonalities in ways that were once unimaginable. The flexibility of digital media allows me to push the boundaries of artistic expression, combining the technical precision of modern tools with the timeless inspiration of masters like Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, and W. Eugene Smith. My images embrace subtle details of color and texture, often incorporating atmospheric backgrounds that evoke a painterly quality. I am passionate about capturing dancers in motion, focusing on their expressions, movement, and energy with vibrant dynamism. My love for architecture, particularly baroque design, informs the clarity and elegance in my work, with each image showcasing intricate details and technical precision. Ultimately, my photography is a blend of past and present, rooted in classical techniques yet fueled by the creative possibilities of modern technology.
