Artist Statement
Some places have a soul, an extra spark. After meandering up the mountain road, leaving the dramatic valley of Rjukan below, the plateau unfolds with Gaustatoppen rising above.
After camping the night before near Ørnenipa, I left the camp before dawn. This mountain's summit is 1333 meters high and offers superb views of Gaustatoppen, Tuddal, and Lake Tinnsjön. It was not my first time there. I had been scouting the surrounding mountains for already six months then.
The weather conditions were optimal that morning: no wind, warm, and sunny. After looking for a nice spot, I fell in love with the beauty of those rock formations reflected on a pond. To increase the glare and lightened the reflections, I added a polarizing filter. I shot this tranquil scene at 5:35 AM.
This photograph is part of GAUSTA IN SEASONS: an award-winning project that has documented this world-class mountain Norwegian destination for almost ten months, from December 2019 to September 2020.

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.
