Artist Statement
After walking along the fjord near Bergen downtown, I arrived at the Sandviken bay area just in time for shooting during the twilight.
The Sandviken bay settlement, established around 1650, served as the original site of fishing-industry warehouses and roperies in the southwestern city of Bergen. From the eighteenth through the twentieth century, the harbor grew to include clusters of fishing-industry buildings and various residences ranging from humble fishmongers' dwellings to prosperous merchants' manor houses.
Today, the area contains one of the highest concentrations of historic wooden buildings in Norway. Nowadays, Bergen is the second-largest city in Norway, and centuries-old wooden buildings mix with twentieth-century industrial structures, offices, and apartment buildings.

Artist Profile
Born: 1976
Hometown: Lima
Based in: Bergen, Norway
I'm a French-Peruvian fine art photographer based in Norway. Nature, urban life, and live music are among the topics that inspired me the most.
I've always been amazed by the beauty of nature and cultural heritage. In that sense, I got involved in photography while documenting ecotourism experiences in Peru during 2006.
After working for more than a decade as a sustainable development consultant, I decided to return to school and study photography as a new creative career. I would discover there influential artists such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams, Ernst Hass, Brett Weston, and Saul Leiter. They still have a significant impact on my aesthetics.
For my last project, Gausta in Seasons, I spent almost ten months (from December 2019 to September 2020) exploring this world-class mountain Norwegian destination.
Nowadays, I'm working on other visual projects in Bergen.
[Art Statement]
I like observing, in detail, the world(s) around me. So, I found in photography the art medium through which I can share what impresses me the most.
I believe in evolving things. That´s why my approach to photography is also a self-therapy to feed me with new remarkable experiences.
In that sense, nature and urban life are essential topics for me. I feel that both of them expand my creative process. When going outdoors, I take the time to encounter and enjoy my subjects: people, objects, or situations; they all matter.
