Graduated in Visual Arts, specializing in Photography at the National School of Architecture and Visual Arts (ENSAAV) in Brussels, Belgium, and at the School of Art and Design (WSCAD) in West Surrey, England.
His personal work approaches the image as a social and cultural document. His first works are developed in the coast, highlands and jungle of Peru. His work “Chorrillos” stands out from this stage as part of the “Serie Costa”, which is currently part of the Photographic Collection of the Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI) and the Jan Mulder Collection. His latest work “A Ciegas”, a self-published photobook, is articulated from the relationship between real and mental image, evanescence, chance, silences, the present and the absent, questioning his new reality.
His work has been exhibited in internationally renowned cultural entities in Ecuador, Peru, Spain, USA, Australia and Brazil.
