CALATAYUD I've always had a restless mind and I like to explore. That translates not only into my life decisions but also and above all into my creative process.

Through asemic writing I learned to collaborate with artists from all over the world and to enrich a global system of exchanges that is most stimulating. And in my photographic work - the main focus of my creativity - I have always sought to discover new tools and investigate new ways of creating and expanding the boundaries of this apparently well-established art.

My chemigrams respond to this desire to discover the infinite possibilities offered by the tools of photography. By focusing on the basis of the photographic process the interaction between various chemicals on a photosensitive paper - I can rediscover the essence of that activity and disassociate it from the idea of a representation of reality. The empirical process that I follow in the lab allows me to explore endlessly and without limit. It also disconnects me from the notion of meaning or discourse, just as with asemic writing (non-semantic) so that I can base my work on an open and expanded investigation of the photographic material.

Degree in photography from the University of Veracruz and postgraduate degree in advertising photography from idep Barcelona. interested in exploring photography as a matter of plastic expression and in the integration of new non-semantic languages in it.

He has participated in different individual and collective exhibitions in the United States, Spain, Italy, Switzerland and Mexico.
