Five views of the Achachila, Illimani, the holy mountain.

Testing 2 lenses I had not used for a long time with a new Nikon camera. Quite pleased with the result

Three images of the coast around Deal and Walmer

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)

A parable of stagnant, dead systems and the inevitable

The foothills of the sacred mountain, Illimani.

A walk from one end of Sun Island to the other, a good 6 hours walk. These images seem better in monochrome

The Embassy of Brazil in London and the Association of Cultural Attachés of Latin America, Spain and Portugal, in partnership with Itaú BBA and People’s Palace Projects (Queen Mary University of London) have selected the image above as one of 30 for the prestigious VIA ARTS PRICE 2018. The exhibition will be open to the public between 14th December and 31st January, Monday-Friday (10am-6pm). At Sala Brasil Gallery 14 – 16 Cockspur Street, SW1Y 5BL Hope to see you there! Javier
