Statement
| Statement | As a visual artist and photographer, my creative practice is profoundly influenced by my background in psychology and pedagogy, integrating a perspective that feeds from both the art and the science of human behavior.My passion lies in documentary and artistic photography, which I use as a vehicle to explore and represent social situations that involve human emotions, gender dynamics, and the complex relationship between human beings and their natural environment. I aim to create visual narratives that challenge, question, and ultimately invite reflection and dialogue.My work is the result of a fusion between emotional introspection and social observation, where each image is an invitation to explore the depths of our humanity. Through social and artistic projects, I actively seek to contribute to the construction of a collective dialogue that highlights the importance of art and education as catalysts for social change.My goal is to use my art as a means to inspire, educate, and foster a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world we live in |
