We always look, but we see just when we want… I cannot describe myself as a photographer. I am rather an observer of human nature during my daily routine, mainly on my way to work. I have always been fascinated by people and their capability to create, to live and to survive in the most diverse conditions. The urban environment in which I live is the most unequivocal example of the transforming capacity of the human being, adapting Nature and adapting himself to the transformations that he created and imposed. It is a reality that can be hard and ruthless, lonely and grey. But it can be an equally motivating reality and an example to follow, when we are surprised by something we did not count with - because the Good and the Beautiful exist, so we want to see them. This philosophical approach to my urban existence found in photography its natural materialization. With black and white, I focus my attention on the essential, without distractions. With photography I capture stories and significant moments, revealing the Humanity that exists in us and that deserves to be contemplated with pleasure or internalized for our improvement as human beings. I try to see instead of just looking and that forces me to abstract from mere daily existence and to observe Life as it is. Life is there, we just do not see it when we are submerged in the foam of days.
