Photographs inspired by family memories and rural Galician identity. shot in Galician farm houses using local people and vintage costumes from the area.

the amount of time that the average person spends looking at a screen has increased notably in the last years.Using the computer as a work tool,I often encounter interesting compositions and colors that catch my eye. I have been collecting screen captures of the creative process and ‘beautiful mistakes’ during the last few months. I would like to transfer these obviously screen-based graphics to everyday tangible objects made with traditional materials.

the traditional event of the ‘Matanza’ has been a ritual and a socialgathering for Galician rural families for centuries. Nowadays, european normative and the displacement of the population to urban areas are making it be less and less common.
