"The darkroom"

An exhibition of personal memories. Photographs developed in my own darkroom and meticulously printed on glossy paper with all the love that went with it. Women in high heels on bar stools piqued my interest from an early age and have inspired me throughout my life as an artist. Also featured are scenes with women I loved. In Spain,there’s an expression: “She’s a Gilda,” referring to the overwhelming physical beauty that makes a woman dominant in an otherwise male-dominated world. Rita Hayworth in a 1946 film. Two portraits honoring the Moscow pianist Ekatarina Mechetina. And finally, a life-size portrait of the unsurpassed Portuguese author Fernando do Pessoa: “It’s been a long time since I’ve been myself.”
