Artwork Description

 about this Photography Artwork

Puntos Suspendidos breaks the image into circular fragments, transforming photography into a sculptural, spatial experience that defies flat boundaries. Each cut-out circle hovers delicately, pinned into place, creating the illusion of a moment held still in midair.

This suspended effect echoes photography’s fundamental gesture: freezing a fleeting instant, preserving its energy beyond the passage of time. The fragmented composition recalls entomological displays, fragile, preserved, and meticulously arranged to evoke stillness within motion.

Faces become focal points, yet not through conventional portraiture, they shift, distort, and multiply across varying angles and expressions. Some appear with cubist resonance, showing simultaneous moments and views, dissolving the illusion of one fixed identity.

This complexity questions singular identity, encouraging reflection on the many versions of self shaped by time and memory. Each pin, a subtle motif, physically connects the elements while embodying symbolic tension, control, and poetic vulnerability.

They anchor the ephemeral, creating balance between structure and fragility, suggesting both permanence and delicate impermanence. Through fragmentation, the human face becomes a mirror for layered consciousness, revealing perception as fractured and ever-shifting.

In Puntos Suspendidos, time bends across surfaces, and memory unfolds as a constellation of suspended gestures and partial truths. The viewer is invited into quiet contemplation, where beauty lies in nuance, suggestion, and open-ended interpretation.

This photograhy artwork straddles photography and sculpture, charting new terrain between the tactile, the temporal, and the psychological. It presents the face not as subject, but as a field for exploring the quiet violence of perception. The result is an introspective visual poem, composed of fragments that both conceal and reveal the fullness of being.

artist statement

I see myself as a full-time visual consumer, constantly absorbing and responding to my surroundings. My artistic journey spans sculpture, engraving, and photography artwork, each helping shape my visual language. Sculptural practice became my core medium, where I reconstruct emotions and build alternative narratives.

Through materials and photographs, I assemble illusions that question reality and perceived truth. My work explores the creation of identity and sensation through the reconfiguration of visual and emotional fragments. Each piece invites reflection on the human psyche, its fragility, adaptability, and layered meaning.

I examine the mind as a transformable and ever-shifting entity. We are shaped by our environments, political realities, and existential tensions. I do not depict a specific individual, but rather the universal state of becoming. Every human presence encountered influences my process, feeding a deeper reflection on shared psychological landscapes.
