This project is a personal discovery and my visual expression of the path that I have done, most of my days full of happiness, some of them not as much as I would have wanted, but all of them are part of the content that I carry on. The books that I read and now I am reading again, the friends that I met and now I am meeting again, the places where I went and now I am going again. Constantly I am recreating myself, that is the life: Counterpose - dichotomy. Vivid - dull, emotional- logical, happy - sad, turbulent - calmed, up and down, back and forth.

Surrounded by vivid and stimulating mix of contrasted nature and architecture, embedded in the middle of the mountains is the place where I was born, Bogotá – Colombia, my happiest and sorrowful moments have happened there. I studied Graphic Design and there was the moment that I had my first contact with photography. Despite my passion for photography, I kept it on hold for more than 20 years while I pursued my entrepreneur goal to establish and run my own business.
