EPHEMERAL BEAUTY

The urge to photograph, a search for contrasting colors

​​Ephemeral Beauty is a delicate collection of images that brings together an extensive body of work from the kingdom of flowers, photographed indoors and outdoors between 2013 and 2016. The inspiration was born from deep personal experiences and sensations that I wanted  to transmit visually, and it was through nature that I found the privileged, vulnerable and beautiful material that helped me explore the temporal condition of life.     

The urge to photograph and the urge to capture flowers using different settings, techniques and resources have been an attempt to interpret sensations from my own skin. However, the more I photograph my subjects, the more the project evolved from a work strictly for myself to a conscious series with a range of motivations.

A search for contrasting colors, flowing tones, and abstraction has led me to the unexplored, the endless possibility of discovering the profound beauty of the natural forms that surrounds us. Definitively, the medium of photography has allowed me to approach the deepest connections between the mystery of nature and ourselves that we can experience. In other words, it has brought me a sensitive perception of my inner world. 

 

Images are powerful. The process of creating all the photographs for this series has been an introspective journey in which I have learned how an image enables us to connect with our psyche and emotions. Beyond this, flowers have stimulated me to explore the sense of life as a whole.
