How can we define photo-graphics? Is it photography? Graphic design? Painting? Geometry? It's all of these things at once. This is what makes it so difficult, but also so interesting, my passion: developing multiple skills and interests in art.

It's about highlighting the intertwining of the two practices. This union of photography and graphic design belongs to both fields.

It is an art that is not new, rather unknown and has been practiced for a long time. As early as 1839, we find drawings by William Henry Fox Talbot, who created what he then called "photogenic drawings," which were later dubbed photograms. Then there are these three great "photographers": William Klein (1928-), Gérard Ifert (1929-), and Wojciech Zamecznik (1923-1967), whose works are imbued with the legacy left by the avant-garde and major figures of the Bahaus.

I remember when I was 15 years old, my private math teacher, who had a knack for teaching me and giving me a taste for mathematics, showing me the value of learning this subject, showed me one day a photo of the perpetual motion of a weight suspended from a thread, photographed with a long exposure. This is how I learned about infinity and photography.

At the time, I developed my own photos and enjoyed photographing the people around me.

I use graphics to visually convey a message or information. I add elements, geometric shapes, colors, and designs, combining and formatting them to create a whole that highlights the secrets revealed by nature and the beauty of the beings who live on this planet.

I adjust a graphic element on a photo, or vice versa, to bring out shapes and elements to be revealed, thus highlighting the secrets of nature and, by extension, our own nature.
