I am an Argentine/Swedish photographer based in Stockholm.
Why Photography?
At 23, I was forced to move to a completely new world. The language, the names of things, the forms, everything was strange and incomprehensible. Suddenly I was like mute and deaf.
That’s when I found photography. Initially the purpose of photography was neither artistic nor aesthetic; the camera was the tool to capture and understand the world again. Picture by picture, the world began to reveal itself, and the objects, shapes, and people became familiar, and gradually the new became mine. And so it remains today.
Reality is a flood, and photography teaches us to observe, to reduce, to search for the essential that shows something of what is hidden beneath the everyday. As poetry uses words to express something about our existence that cannot be conveyed otherwise, photography serves a similar purpose. Through light, the geometry of composition, colors, or even their absence, it pulls back the veil, revealing hidden dimensions of reality. My work varies in both content and style, shaped by the subjects and circumstances I encounter. Each day, I am drawn to people, objects, and situations that spark my curiosity. encountering things that I am compelled to share through my images. What remains constant is my desire to reveal something meaningful and an aim to evoke a sense of beauty.
I earned a degree in film directing from the Swedish Film School and have spent many years directing short films, TV series, and documentaries. Today and for years now, my artistic pursuits are primarily focused on exploring the art of photography.
