Symbiosis Talk at Kronos Art 2020
A Magical Journey Through Ancient Wisdom and Universal Laws
I was invited to give a talk about my photographic experiments at Kronos Art, the biggest contemporary art festival in Barcelona. I took advantage of this opportunity to talk about the deepest meaning of my portraits.
I use Photoshop to try to capture the essence of the portrayed artists, rather than just their physical appearance. This project is an experiment using photo-composition to portray their deeper ideas, philosophies, life principles, personal beliefs and enigmatic messages; to represent their higher selves, integrating their physical features with their metaphysical world.
In the talk I explain the stories behind twelve symbiosis. It’s in Spanish but you can turn on YouTube auto-translated captions. I checked the translation and it’s actually not too bad! : )

Symbiosis on the Radio
My First Radio Interview!
Last week I was contacted by El Ojo Crítico, a Spanish cultural radio show, to ask me for an interview about the Symbiosis exhibtion on PHotoESPAÑA 2018, my first ever radio interview! As the Symbiosis project is very visual, I made this little video with images to illustrate what’s being said. It’s Spanish only, sorry, but with the images you can get an idea about what we’re talking about. : )
