FROM EXPERIENCE TO THE FINAL SHAPE
Every image is born long before the shot is taken.
Printing is only the final stage of a journey that begins in the field and takes shape in space.
THE ORIGIN
Photographs don't start in front of a monitor.
They are born from immersion, from time spent in a place, from waiting for a condition that cannot be forced.
Sometimes it is necessary to walk for hours, other times to stand still. What I seek is the instant when light and matter find a clear balance.
When experience and perception coincide, the image becomes inevitable.
THE CHOICE
Selection is a crucial stage.
Every image is observed, compared, and tested. The balance between light, density, and surface is checked first on a monitor and then on paper.
The comparison during printing is not a delegation but a dialogue.
It helps to understand whether the image maintains its presence even after being transformed into a physical object.
Only then can it become a work of art.
THE EDITION
Each artwork is defined by a precise number of copies.
Establishing an edition means deciding how many times that image can exist in the world.
This limit is not intended to create scarcity, but to maintain precise control over the artwork over time.
An artwork is not reproduced beyond what has been declared.
The number is not a technical detail. It is an integral part of its identity.
THE STAY
A work of art lives in the space that welcomes it.
Light modifies it, the gaze rediscovers it, time reveals new aspects of it.
The process does not end with printing.
It continues over time.
