Essences
From within, portraits hide a unique moment that captures one determined moment, a specific state of mind, a concrete thought and sentiment, the reflection of a certain culture and time.
But in turn, they hide many nuances about the personal history of the portrayed subjects, of their current state and their vision of the future, in addition to the personal stance and personal vision of he who is taking the portrait, also observing and portraying himself.
This series reflects those multiple attempts of rapport with others, as if it was a showcase of essences waiting to be discovered.
