Images are powerful and our ancestors understood this long ago.

My interest in photography and image is born from the potential they have to activate curiosity and continue learning from it, for its infinite possibilities of leaving doors open for discussion, allowing us to travel to other worlds and to open our eyes to the worlds right here. In addition to its power to turn identifiable places into supernatural and timeless moments. The images are powerful and our ancestors understood this long ago. With my work, I try to rescue, revive and invoke the mystique of those who were before us and us to continue on the path of building our identity.

I graduated in photography, at the Peruvian School of Art and Design. Then I graduated from the Latin American Master of Contemporary Photography at the Centro de la Imagen school, both in Lima. In 2019 I was chosen to participate in the residency for two and a half months at the ISSP school in Riga, Latvia. I exhibited as part of the final exhibition MALDEFOCO, entitled "Entropies of memory and the present" in 2016 at the Image Center in Lima, Peru. In 2018 I had my first solo exhibition titled "Uku Pacha" (The World Inside). That same year I exhibited at the "Singapore International Photography Festival" with the same work. In 2020 I am going to participate in the "La Nuu" Festival to be held in Barcelona, Spain.
