A restless and innovative artist who has made of photography : his primary mean of expression and artistic creation

 

1. His black and white photography has undressed madness, cruelty, violence, poverty and all sorts of social anomalies

2. Sensitive eye toward the human captures images of the daily life with a poetic character carrying his photograph one step beyond documentary photography

3. Cares about the possibilities of penetrating in the hidden and unknown side of reality, in that which goes beyond the external and daily perception of the object represented. He chooses topics or objects that allow him explore the human, such as circus, illness or madness.

4.Nominated by TIME magazine as one of the Latin American Leaders for the new Millennium(1999)
