Statement
I have spent more than three decades exploring nature as an inexhaustible source of inspiration. My work is based on a deep reflection on the horizon, that illusory line created by human perception. In this new series, I merge photography and graphics, two essential media in my practice, using mirrored acrylic to create a dialogue between image and reflection. Inspired by Jacques Lacan, I invite the viewer to reconsider their relationship with the landscape, generating a visual experience where nature observes us and we become its witnesses.
