What would I say about me and my life? I don’t like writing about myself, it has never liked me and although I enjoy writing to let my imagination fly and to feel better I never share the things that I write with someone else, it’s something private. I often let my creations talk by themselves because I like the different ways that people understand them, that’s art; work that will show too many feelings in people according their personal criteria, and it will build empathy. I’ve been painting my whole life, since I was a child, but the moment I realized I wanted to be an artist was probably at the age of 14 when my father bought me a profesional set of crayons. As far as the photography passion is concerned I was pretty sure. At the age of 6 I used to take pictures with my uncle’s camara as much as I could when he visited us. After two years, when I turned in 8, he gave it to me as a birthday present and I haven’t stoped making photographs since then. I got my first and only reflex camera at the age of 18 and the first time that I had a real acknowledgement of my abilities as a photographer was when I was 21. While studing my degree in Arts I found out too many techniques of art and those that captivated me were sculpture, transfers, engraving, films and digital art. Nowadays my job is focused on graphic design but I don’t think I will stop creating. Art has been always with me and it will be always that way.

Presentation The begining of the work comes from an idea given in a lesson while the presentation of a 3D projection that the artist had made about a topic based on the world. And it was explained how rotten was the world because of the people, the poverty , the social inequality and the indifference.

As a result of that, a teacher suggested to show the world in a less critic way and simply showing it as it is. By using a series of works in which it is combined photographs, videos, digital illustrations, gifs and 3D animation it will be shown that dinamic world, timespace, uncertain, full of life and nature, joy, but also suffering... Everything based on the author point of view so it won’t be the real world by itself but the world of the artist. The work is divide into three parts; “The The Outside” Outside”, “The Inside” and “Life” “Life”. “The outside” covers more superficial aspects such as how quickly time runs and the nature. This part has got digital illustrations mixed with photographs and one gift.

“The inside” is about the relationship between the inside of the Earth and the person. The coldness and the warm, both of them in the inside layers of the Earth and in the human being feelings. The situations of life that leave a mark in the humanity give shape to the person in which he or she is going to be like. The sorrows of past, present and future experiences, together with the joy that always accompany us in the way of our lives. Both must coexist, as it happens in the inside of the Earth, if one is missing, life will fall. In “The Life” the world and person interaction continues but in a more specific way. The worries about the life and how quick and brief it is, the fear for the time running and death, something than can’t be avoided and only can be observed, waiting for the unavoidable fate. The necessity of taking as much as possible advantage of the time so that the existence is not in vain. A topic I delve deeper here is the look. The way of looking says to many things without the necessity of uttering a word, it is said that the eyes are the reflection of the soul, they are a part of our bodies that show and feel and don’t complain.
