Chemigrams on fiber paper; 17,7 x 12,7 cm; 2018
There is an alchemical connection in my works and photographs, making my creations in non-representations, a subjective, informed and spiritualized view. My pieces and images emerge from the chaotic; of a sum of destructions of aesthetic conventions and rules of art, I integrate them in my practice by potentializing my work to new possibilities and openness to new paths.
The images chosen for the contest, are part of a larger group of images, which intend not to present a physical appearance of something concrete, but rather the capture of alchemical moments that penetrate the photosensitive virgin paper, like a engraved wound. The process of exploration and production of photographic images are merged through the alchemical evocation advocated by alternative means of photography: “chemigrams” that correspond to a hybridization between painting and drawing that makes use of photosensitive paper and various chemical solutions
