Summer Collages

I am a photographer and filmmaker raised in Galicia, Spain. My desire to leave my comfort zone, my enthusiasm for knowing different places, people and live different experiences, has led me to study in three different countries in the last 3 years. These experiences abroad in Portugal and California, travelling and meeting people from all around the world, have changed my perception of life and have inspired me a lot and changed my visual art as well. I like to mix reality with fiction, pay attention to the little things in life and to human behavior.

Summer Collages is a mixture of analog photographs taken in two of my favorite places; my hometown in the Northwest of Spain, called Vigo, and Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, which has become my second home. This series is, in a way, the feeling of comfort, a place called home. The colors of summer and the warmth of the sun make this time of the year my favourite; nature, family and friends.
