Articles

I began writing articles about photography, covering technical, inspirational, and personal journey topics. I chose to publish them on Substack, an online publishing platform that offers excellent features and tools.

Paris in black & White

Paris is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the world. Thousands of people visit its museums, monuments, cafés, and neighbourhoods yearly. There’s so much to see that it would probably take a lifetime to get to know the city in detail. Although it hasn’t been a lifetime, I’ve spent many hours in this extraordinary place. 

My Story

I’m a visual artist based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I’ve been an active photographer since 2008, with extensive experience in fine art, product, macro, and still-life photography. I’m also a drawing artist working in digital and traditional mediums.

I was born in 1966 in Uruguay. I lived there until 1990 when my dreams of seeing more of the world became a reality. For 14 years, I travelled to and lived in many places until arriving in Canada in 2004, where I decided to settle.

My Philosophy

I have loved music since I was young. I used to save money to buy vinyl records and spend endless hours listening to them. It was a time of discovery and innocence, where I would listen to all genres of music. And I remember noticing the records had a small tag on the cover that said, “Art is culture” (el Arte es Cultura). Even as an 8-year-old, I understood its meaning and importance, and, most importantly, I identified with it. A few decades later, I still consider art an essential part of everyone’s life, including mine.

It doesn’t matter if you are a successful artist, an up-and-coming artist, or someone trying new things. My life experience has led me to believe that some of us desire to express ourselves through a physical medium, producing something unique and personal. Expressing oneself this way is hugely satisfying.
