About Urban / Sobreurbano
The urban habitat can be understood as an organic agglomeration of human actions, layered and overlapping across time. These are not empty images: each fragment of the city carries traces of those who shape and inhabit it.
The city is built by socially heterogeneous individuals who sustain a fragile but persistent pattern of coexistence. It gathers diverse flows and activities, standing at once as a record of collective gestures and solitary acts. Such traces can be read as scientific documents, but also as narratives — stories of presence, encounter, and intimacy.
The artificial, more than opposed to nature, is intrinsic to human existence. Within the urban environment, human action reveals itself in extraordinary manifestations of beauty: from architectural constructions on a macro scale to minute details, deliberate or accidental, that testify to passage and use.
The orthogonal logic of human construction resonates with the visual language of abstraction. Lines and planes generate patterns that can stimulate, soothe, or intrigue, while reflective materials open onto virtual spaces — plausible or impossible — that dislocate perception.
This series of images offers a perspective of the city that foregrounds the enigma embedded in everyday life. It seeks to reveal the aesthetic potential of the artificial, elevating fleeting, almost abstract moments of the urban environment into objects of contemplation. By attending to these details, the work invites a form of visual play: an abstractionist delight in perceiving the city anew.
