I like to think images and photographs as fired poems: gunfire-burst poems. Moments, shots, haikus, impressions of light. The union of those moments, of that fleeting, fun, messy, rebellious, countercultural but at the same time nostalgic and somehow distant eroticism, makes my way of creating images.

I encounter poetic bodies.
A body that is a poetic landscape.
And that invites me to break the reality imposed on that subject or object.
I think there is a poetic narrative there.

I work with different formats, but I mainly like the classic structure of photographic language: film, film development, chemicals, and the organic and classic world of photography. I am interested in working on the imperfect, exploring and intensifying imperfections, the trash, what crosses and one cannot control. The affection.

I like to work with this concept of trash erotica that leads to a freedom of bodies. Bodies in action, bodies in the verb, that can scream, spit, push, hug, cry, love, kiss, wrap, touch, push away, unite, dream, etc. Bodies that become fictions, and poetic worlds, to put humanity aside, at least for a while, in a fleeting and intense instant. An impression of light. The idea of the Erotica for me is a device. That is a set of relationships that connect and disconnect; and are in motion, flow, relationships of intensities, fleeting, affections, based on an aesthetic of the sensual.


However eroticism not only has to do with pleasure, with love, with sweetness, with intensity, with strength, but also with fury, with softness, with desire, with pain, sadness, nostalgia, passion, etc. So that's where a lot of relationships come in between the bodies that form this device that is based on what it affects as sensual. The sensual thing is to lose the body. Enter into the condition with another body and do something new. And the body is not simply a subject, human and skin. It is a landscape, an object, a word, an idea, a meaning, an image, a sound, a music, a dream.

I find a lot in poetry. In the writing of poetry. I have been writing poetry that is surreal, a little dark, nostalgic, and erotic for a long time. In my images, I think there are traces of that. Images that return to medieval eroticism located in some alien and nostalgic future.

I think my work has to do with that. Recover classical roots and destroy them in what would be the mystery of modernity and what we do not know is coming.

Romance, sensationalism, explicit intrigue, the lascivious but distant, banditry, danger, exoticism, the macabre, love, gothic, the femme fatale, the vamp, the myth, the experience of the night, the roman-noir, the supernatural, the underground, post-punk, punk, rock, ritual, avant-garde, nude, the secret of intimacy, strange stories, grunge, poetry, sensuality, the chick-lit, the broken fashion, the marginal, the trash, the imperfect, the strange threats, the pagan, the planetary romance, the innocence, the unfortunate love relationships, the game, the freedom, the fun, the amusements.

All of that makes me involved in something modern. Or on a level of enjoyment that I like and involves the fiction that I invent with my images. The culture of the pulp magazines or classic erotic magazines, of cheap novels that came out between the end of the 19th century and the 1950s and that were novels of fiction, fantasy, adventures, detective stories, amazing stories of thrillers, suspense, love, and Giallo, exaggerated, plastic, histrionic and intentionally overacted characters; the fantasy, the mystery, the hyperbole, the absurdity of the subjects, the fantastic story of the sensual. .

The art of placing the body in a space and generating an image is of great interest to me. The people portrayed for me are artists of their individuality. I like to think about that. In scenes or theatrical spaces where those people portrayed become characters who generate the power of the images along with the designs, art, and light that is built within that space.
There is a whole territory of intensities present in that device that can be thought of as a great map of powerful images yet to be born. That is why I don´t portray human beings, I like to work with fictional characters that together create a poetical image and dreamworld.
