Revisiting the light of these images, high altitude lakes

A friend changed the slates of the roof for tiles. I picked up a couple that ended up very useful as backgrounds and textures.

This are not a painting. I feel obliged to explain verbally these images: The original still life photograph is lifted, raised to another level, to another interpretation, a new reality. A curator placed this final interpretation in the realm of Magic Realism, a term which is commonly applied to literature, specifically Latin American fiction. And thus attempting to bridge the gap between traditional photography and traditional painting (the repetition of 'traditional' is intended)

At the end of the road from Nijar, Andalusia a well kept village with its own hermit and fresh water gushing from the mountain.

The representation of the god of the night: Tescatlipoca, the Knife of Obsidian. While listening to Lila Downs' " Mano Negra" from her 'Balas y Chocolate' album

After several days of various shots and compositions I finally relented and chose this image.

This is the first of 2 projects on Lake Titicaca in the department of La Paz, provincia Murillo. The lake is considered to be sacred by both Cristians and Aymara natives. In 2012, the Global Nature Fund nominated the lake "Threatened Lake of the Year", pollution being the main cause and the constant receiving waters; in 2023 the water level went down by 3 meters.

I will be exhibiting 76 images this coming August at Linden Hall Studio, Deal, Kent. Do join me at the private view to take place on Friday 5 July
