My work as a photographer has as its main objective the exploration and knowledge of the environment for the achievement of an enrichment from a personal point of view. I am passionate about the photographic act and I use the camera to, through a conscious exploration of the world that surrounds me, influences me, and consequently concerns me, collect as a viewer my own subjective vision with the intention of recording and transmitting it through images. The channeling of my work through formal projects also allows me to enjoy the process of research and documentation that I try to complement with other artistic media such as literature, film or art, in order to expand my training, knowledge and vision of the particular subject on which I am working. I try that beyond an artistic purpose there is a parallel process of personal growth. On a personal level, I am more concerned about being a good father than an artist and I believe that the most valuable inheritance I can transmit to my own children is born from that knowledge of the world around us, its analysis, and the awareness of transmitting that which has true value and importance, something I enjoy doing through a camera. - The images I provide are part of a project under development on what is known as "demotanasia", which is nothing more than the gradual abandonment of the rural world. Galicia, the community where I live, has a historical tradition closely linked to the rural world, to the existence of a very dispersed population distribution and grouped in "parishes" which is a singular collective population entity with origin in the ancient territorial division of the Christian churches. For various reasons, in recent years hundreds of territories have been lost and abandoned in the most inland areas of the community, causing the disappearance of this traditional and cultural characteristic of the territory, as well as a particular way of life, linked to natural resources, land and water. In this project I try to document on the one hand how is the life of this generation, perhaps the last, living in rural Galicia, and on the other hand show the appearance of those places that have already been abandoned, places full of history, which are part of our identity as a people, which will be lost if not remedied.
