With this name I have gathered three image collections that come from several projects that I started some time ago, I called them “Arboreum” “Labyrinths” and “Mikado”. Almost all the images that are the backbone of these works come from the observation and further reflection of our natural environment, with its capacity to organize all its elements in an almost mathematical order, creating a whole series of equilibrated compositions and suggestive shapes. This trilogy shows an intense inner relationship, because all the images share the same concept, related with all of us. “Arboreum” is a reinterpretation of life using shapes of trees with natural textures obtaining a unique metamorphosis. “Labyrinths” is a game in where we get trapped in an imaginary travel to other dimension where we could get the pleasure of a late liberation. “Mikado” is the end of all that we have lived until now, where the tangible is integrated in a surrealistic environment where the elements out of place, obtain a remarkable leadership. They are images to think about and to share.
