PHOTOGRAPHY
The camera is not just a tool; it is an extension of my consciousness. Through it, I observe life in its purest form: the breathing jungle, the animal that endures, the human who dreams. Each image is a testimony, a fragment of truth that emerges from silence and becomes a voice.
My commitment as a conservation photographer is not only to the beauty of the world but to its persistence. I photograph not to show what is beautiful, but what is essential. That which, if it disappears, impoverishes us all.
I aspire for my images to not only be seen but to be felt. May they inspire others to live with more adventure and find the love necessary to protect all that still breathes, still sings, still blooms. Because everything that has life deserves to be told. And what is told with love can be saved.
MATHARE
I intervene the urban landscape to protect myself from an implicit reality. A new state of consciousness is born, one that liberates the presence of what is not seen. I escape the noisy environment, transforming the observed into something aesthetically pleasing to my own ideal of beauty. Beauty proliferates just by virtue of my intention as observer. I shelter in the contrast of the observed to remove myself from its own actuality.

Faces of the Jungle: Forgotten Innocence
This series captures the fragile beauty of Curripaco childhood deep in the Colombian Amazon. Through intimate portraits, it reflects on lost innocence, cultural invisibility, and the quiet resilience of a people often forgotten. In a land where the jungle is more a refuge than a home, these faces remind us of stories that still need to be seen—and remembered.
Arquiles and Everginia
In the heart of the Colombian Amazon, Arquiles and Everginia captures the quiet power of ancestral routine. Everginia Pinto, a 53-year-old Curripaco woman, prepares casabe in solitude, her hands moving with memory and purpose.
Among her tools, the dopichi—a yuca grater once a tree—holds more memory in its skin than the human body. In this world, resistance is woven into daily gestures, and old age is not an ending, but a return to the beginning.
This photo series is a tribute to the sacred bond between body, land, and ancestral time.
