Gela Tina Yucatán, Mexico. I was born in the spring, season of colors and joy. In Mérida, Yucatán, The White City of “La Vaquería”
I am currently a Visual Arts student at the Autonomous University of Querétaro. The last verse certainly narrates my born, but mostly describes one of the main reasons for my photography. My roots are following me everywhere, they are owners of my past, my present and, in the same time, they are the owners of my future, I can’t refuse them, and they are always there for me, waiting to be catch with their colors, their scents and flavors.
Another reason of my photography is that reality is always going to be out of reach for me, which is fascinating, because when I understand it, the photography has taken another meaning to me. Then, my camera turns as a pen and the world in a blank sheet, where the fantasy, the psychology, the self-portrait and my favorite motives are combined giving delightful and satisfactory results in which I intend to continue, as with a taste for my country.
