    It Is A Self-portrait, All The Characters In This Photograph Are Acted By The Same Person And The Fi

Accepting that others judged me was difficult, but the most essential revelation of my life was to discover that my greatest enemy lay in my own head. It was by looking inward that I realized that the judgment that froze me was the one that I was making of myself, a ballast that prevented me from moving forward. I face my reflection with the truth of my being, not allowing the shadows of self-judgment obscure the light that emanates from me.

Merche Moriana (1994, Spain) I am a photographer and visual artist currently living in Seville. My work is inspired by my own experiences and is influenced by nature, Renaissance painting, music and the beauty of emotions as something ephemeral. I use photography as a tool for personal expression and treats my images to insinuate mystery. My works are full of colours, textures and elements that make each image a unique piece. I am currently working on my personal art project and on the creation of educational content about digital retouching and colour correction in photography.
