My Artist statement

When I start a personal artistic work I do it with passion and perseverance for months or several years. When I start a commissioned job, I do it under the client's requirements. I'm a perfectionist and meticulous when editing digital photographs in Photoshop or Lightroom, always taking care not to exaggerate saturation, tones and contrast to maintain image quality. “My work is documentary and real, as I see things in the world. I was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1958. At the age of 12, I began to take pictures with a Agfa-Rapid 35 mm camera… It was the in the mid-to-late 1960’s, early on in my childhood, when I developed a sensibility and respect towards nature. That sense of awe and inexplicable peace of mind grew every time I hiked next to my fellow Boy Scouts in Venezuela. Every time I came back home I would be asked by my parents about my impressions on the excursions, only to have words fail me. It was hard to describe the impact it had had on me.”
