Born in Venezuela, educated in the United States, and now based in London, my practice sits at the intersection of documentary and invention.
My street photography captures moments that defy easy description—fleeting scenes that move me emotionally, often in ways too intimate or complex to fully articulate. Rather than aiming for factual truth, I seek to convey impressions: humour, beauty, strangeness, because perception is always shifting - between memory and moment, between what was and what is… or could be.
In the studio, I reclaim a long-paused exploration (I stopped making art for almost two decades); here, I build my own constructed realities—fabricated spaces that reflect my inner landscape, personal history, and worldview. These staged portraits become quiet dramas, inviting viewers into a space where narrative hovers just out of reach. I aim not to explain, but to evoke—to spark the imagination.
Compositionally, I work with echoes of errant classicism, subverted and made personal. I employ dramatic lighting, heroic postures, and suggestive gestures, borrowing visual language from cinema and traditional portraiture across many visual eras. Yet my palette is shaped more by memory than observation—colours tuned to emotional resonance rather than fidelity.
Ultimately, my camera is a tool for reflection—a way to hold onto moments I can’t express in words, and to offer others a glimpse into the worlds I carry within.
