“An eulogy from the admiration for every woman to commemorate the gestation of life.”
— GEMA ROMERO & GUILLERMO AVIS
CONCEPT
The body blends with the sublime landscape in a double game of mimicry and contrast where the two contradictory aesthetic flows converge. The wild landscape gently cradles each naked figure like a feather that rushes through the air and then poses itself unexpectedly.

gestating life is more sublime than life itself
We get the impression that the body form, devoid of everything that is not essential, looks fragile before such a grandiose scenario.
The reality is that the figure lies in the open and clings to the surface staging a vital dance. What at first appears to be a contrast between delicate and sublime ends up being a symbiosis between earth and being.

A COLLECTION OF UNIQUE ARTWORKS
The genre of portraiture delights us
In every collection, each muse captivates us in an exercise of self exploration without forgetting its essence. Sometimes, the subject’s eyes penetrate us with decisiveness and other times their closed eyelids let us dream and be transported other lands.

Behind the metaphor resides a sophisticated creative process
It is the explorative journey, the inquiry into all the potential of portraiture in photography.
The intimate relationship between artist and a subject turned muse, is preceded by a rigorous study of the body. That is when the game between the harmony and volume of its form come into play; when the language of perspective, equilibrium and the perfect neatness of the framing, distinguish the moment like the notes of a symphony performed by a virtuoso.
Each photograph transcends to the status of artwork.
The creation of each artwork begins with the study of the body in gestation and how it relates to the personality of the landscape.
The shot is preceded by a sketch where the concept of each artwork is staged. Sometimes the starting point is the nude figure in order to place it in the landscape and other times it is the charisma of the setting that is proposed.
The body is directed in each of the shots in order to achieve harmony in the volume of its forms.
The portrait genre is the protagonist, although the rhythms give way to scenes where the figure precedes the person.
This is when the relationship between the body and the space takes over, and it is not so much the figure's protagonism as the symbiosis it generates with the landscape.
