Biography

I was born in 1987 in Caracas, Venezuela, and my journey as a street photographer has been shaped by my love for the underground hardcore punk scene, skateboarding, and graffiti.

In 2016, I moved to Germany, and by early 2024, I decided to fully commit to photography. These days, I shoot in the streets of Berlin, drawing heavy inspiration from Japanese snapshot culture, which has had a profound influence on my work.

I'm in love with this shit. Snapshot State of Mind.

Artist's Statement

The street is like a reflection of what’s inside of us if you pay close attention, or sometimes feels like a window that shows you something about yourself if you dare to take a look. It’s all connected.

I’ve realized that through photography, I study my own nature, trying to find myself in the images I capture. It’s not about the reality itself but how I interact with it. It’s like my eyes ask the questions while the camera provides the answers. The camera acts like an interface.

Street photography has shaped how I see the world—how I read the streets and feel the pulse of urban life. There’s a rawness, a wild energy out there that mirrors what’s inside me.

Shooting in black and white allows me to express the aggression, energy, and intensity that I’ve always had in me through layers, texture, and high contrast. I see my photos as individual snapshots, like traces of memories from something we’ve never lived, making it impossible to track or fully understand them.
