You made a book called “The solitude of Beauty” how did this book came to be? And why did you chose this title? During the Autumn of 2016 I spent 2 months on a road trip from Spain to the Northest point that you can reach by car in Europe, Nordkapp, Norway. I went without a specific route, trying to go only on secondary roads and getting lost all the time. I found lots of beauty and solitude in big fjords, old ex sovietic cities, lakes where the fog makes the water infinite... The Solitude of Beauty was born after that trip. It's a photographic work about the cold, the beauty and the solitude in Northern Europe. The name, was actually an idea of somebody very close to me in that moment, but it wasn't for a book, it was for a short video I made with a few clips that I filmed on the trip, and the name was perfect for those images. A few months after I decided to make the book it had to be with that name because it represented perfectly the essence of the photos.
