My work as an artist documents the impact of industrialization on the landscape. My professional practice has a direct connection with my attraction for environmental problems. My images focus on the contradiction found out the nature and impact of man on the paisaje.Yo I have a special interest in approaching art from a hambientalista as a result of an early activist in my home country.
