In each photograph, I explore unique worlds, wanting people to succumb to them, without prejudice, restrictions and demystifying taboos. I'm somewhat against interpretation, and I like to have a very marked subjectivism in my work, something that is also consistent with my creative process, which not infrequently is born purely and simply out of nothing, by simply breathing space/time... letting thoughts and feelings flow, enjoy and emerge through pure intuition, generating a predisposition, an open space where images are projected until the final reunion with the idea and the aesthetic. And this creative process leads, for example, to the execution of the Guardian photograph, in which each element was born from this state of semi-wakefulness, which means that each one has its own interpretation. But in this specific fantasy case, the symbols have a meaning for me, starting with the figure with the black cloth and the fish, who is effectively the Guardian of this world, but is nonetheless a mysterious and faceless figure, questioning the morphology of her being and her surroundings and what she actually guards in this world, even though we see other elements (elephant and angel) that actually inhabit this world and certainly have their purpose.
