Sergio Bretel

ARCHITECT - PHOTOGRAPHER
Sergio Bretel Born in Lima Peru in 1977
His artistic and photographic approach explores the space of the visible, the invisible and the intrinsic, of traces and signs, of presences and above all absences through new forms of visual narratives exploring the conceptual limits between contemporary art and photography, following a constant multidisciplinary experimentation, using photography as a means and as an aim.

His work is exploratory and conceptual, using abstraction as an intrinsic language, in search of a reflection from the way of looking, permanence and reality. Investigating from myths and traditions to the contemporary context, He is interested in the language of the image, human habits and objects as a means of approach and reflection regarding their presence, their incidence and their memory.
