It’s been almost two seasons without sharing new articles. Not that I had nothing to tell or show, in fact, I already had a backlog of ideas, written posts, some artwork and photo projects. For some reason, I didn’t consider anything quite finished or right for the moment. But I’m sharing some spring stuff anyway, because it’s the season of flowers and I live that deeply (and in the other hemisphere will be right on time!). However, you may have realised just by following along, that there are in fact […]

It’s time for a photo gallery post! Even photography is not my main job (outside of work) I really enjoy it, especially when on the road. Sometimes I do have to keep it as phone photography only, just to keep my luggage light and to enjoy the moment and don’t annoy my travel companions with constant stops. However, it does make my trips more intense, and gives me beautiful souvenirs. London is a vibrant, amazing city, and I probably saw the best of it as it was sunny and hot […]

Field notes : discovering Mallorca First time for me in the islands. We had a few days to get a feel for the place—enough to catch its vibe, though there’s still plenty left to see and experience. That’s always the case. FOMO follows me wherever I go. I was glad to have my camera with me. I enjoyed focusing on what I like most: landscapes and places. Now I’ve got something to look back on—and a way to revisit that feeling of being somewhere else. Experience the photos in video […]

Field notes from the airport It’s not every day I find myself with extra time at the airport and my reflex camera in hand—so when the opportunity arose, I couldn’t help but start clicking away. I’ve always liked being at airports, even when I have to stay longer than expected. They’re places of passage, where most of us are held for a while—waiting, lingering, adjusting. They invite you to sit and pause. To wander aimlessly past gates, simply because there’s still too much time before boarding. Or sometimes, to rush—toward the right […]

A bit of personal context Why I made this series of AI luggage There’s no industry as dreamy and exciting as the luggage and travel industry. And it’s pretty obvious these days. The most trendy and exciting thing to do is to travel. New generations are all in for experiences and aesthetics. And luggage brands are popping everywhere, where Away went first opening the way. The after-pandemic high may also has helped. What else would look good on an Instagram grid than nice outfits in stunning places? Yes, we love […]

We all want, need, to be surrounded by beauty. And even thought the beauty we create through everyday objects, architecture, fashion, and design is wonderful, we may also need the unique beauty of nature itself. There’s something fundamental about our connection to the natural world and how we feel in it. It’s not just about aesthetics – it’s about the way we thrive when surrounded by living things, clean air, and open skies. Every person should have the right to experience the Earth’s gifts in everyday life: the shade of […]

The Chinese New Year is around the corner, and I can’t help but reminisce about my work trip there last year. The trip had its ups (meeting suppliers in person, experiencing the country) and downs (the exhaustion of long flights and getting sick). As with all travel to a foreign and faraway country, many things looked new and different to me—worth photographing, remembering, and sharing. Even so, there is plenty I won’t be able to share, either because it isn’t relevant, I didn’t take a photo, or simply because I […]

One year was all about crypto, this year is all about AI. And it makes sense, as it’s a technology that is growing exponentially and applicable across numerous sectors and job profiles. While some AI capabilities aren’t entirely new (Photoshop already did some functions that we can find now on the image AI tools, like expanding an image, and Lightroom already changed the skies in photos)we’re now experiencing an explosion of tools, capabilities, and services catering to diverse professional needs, such as in marketing roles, creativity, data, education, communication, etc. […]

Already Excited About the New Year? Christmas has come and gone and so the magic of the season seems to start to decline. So it feels almost like an obligation to be excited about the new year to come. Not only the 1st of January, we should be happy to wake up every single day and celebrate that we have yet another day to live—and, hopefully, to make some new memories. So, when faced with the prospect of a whole new year, it feels like being handed a new chance […]

And here we are once again, ready to celebrate Christmas! I’m especially happy this year because I’ve been able to fully enjoy the preparations and embrace the festive season with good spirits. As always, I’m a bit late in sharing my creative projects, and I’m worried I won’t finish all my festive ideas in time. But in the end, it’s the process that truly matters! Here are some of my creative projects and activities to inspire you to try your own, this holiday season or the next one ;). Hand-drawing […]

We’ve entered the Christmas mood season, so fall is almost a thing of the past—almost. And what a fall it was this year! Here in Tarragona, recent fall seasons have been mostly hot and sunny. This year, though, we had a good amount of rain. Unfortunately, that meant I couldn’t extend the beach season. Last year, I even swam in the sea on November 1st (and I don’t enjoy the cold!). This year, I can’t say exactly, but it must have ended several weeks earlier. A pity. On the bright […]

A compendium of my favourite links, tools and gear I’m always curious about what gear and tools my fellow creatives use, so I can’t but share also what’s my own. For work and for fun! Note that this is what I use, not what’s best in the market, as I haven’t tried everything. But I’m telling you, for the moment, they work for me. I’m sure this will need updates from time to time and more posts, but this is a good place to start. I’m also curious, what is […]

When you have a screen to check many times a day, it’s only natural to want something beautiful to look at. Some people might choose a themed wallpaper, maybe something seasonal. Personally, I love having photos of nice places. They don’t have to be my next bucket list destination—just a view that makes me feel good. A Mediterranean coastal photo, for instance, does the trick. I can imagine myself at the beach, any day, walking peacefully as the sunlight reflects off the sea’s surface, making everything feel a little warmer… […]

This is not the kind of content I would usually post in my projects page, as these photos weren’t taken with my professional camera and they don’t have the same artistic intention of my usual photography. But they are truly travel photos, taken with my phone during a work trip, sneaking some quick shoots in some in-between moments and with very limited editing. However, in my usual way, my selection doesn’t show the multitudes and frenzy that was around in most places. But it would also be unrealistic to only […]

Los Urrutias, 2023 Last summer, I was lucky to stay for a few days in this coastal town. During the hottest days of summer, I managed to be surrounded by water. I really got to enjoy this place thanks to my friends who showed me around, and we had the best time together. However, it’s not the story of my vacation that I find of huge interest, but the landscape and surroundings. It’s not a usual place. I was in a coastal town with beaches, and on the horizon, quite […]

Exploring Blue Hues: Ink Art and Seascapes 2023 Let’s be honest, blue is the main color in my life. It is not a short phase. But in 2023 I did the following artworks that are very representative of how I use this hue and work with it, so let’s call it my Blue Era ’23. These artworks are all made using solely calligraphic ink which I mix with water using water brushes and regular brushes, and then I refine and add all the details with also a calligraphic pen. I […]

I sluggishly say goodbye to summer when fall is clearly arrived. And I’m lucky, it does take some time to fully go away… I love how, while under the sun, it still feels like we can grasp a bit of summer, while winter is by the corner. I hold to every summer memento and try to keep the illusion alive. And, sometimes, the illusion becomes better than reality.

Capturing the Mediterranean feeling. When the water is this blue, the trees this green and the sun shining so bright, I just wish I could wonder these coastal paths forever and watch every detail for hours on end. The quest by the beach In this photography project, I aim to capture the essence of the Mediterranean. Here, vibrant blue water meets lush green coastal flora under a dazzling sun. Each photograph showcases the unique charm and beauty of this region. I invite viewers to immerse themselves in its serene yet […]

Went the feels (and light) say it’s still winter but the landscape is telling otherwise.

Can you feel the cold through the screen? It’s not the cold of snowy places but a wet cold with misty views.

I’m still a dreamer. On a windy day like today, I still wonder about the subtle nature of our motivations, hopes and expectations, about our inspirations, desires, goals and (sometimes distracting) wants. How some of them will grow into reality and others will slowly slip into the realm of the unreal and forgotten… I’m still a dreamer. – Although I don’t remember my dreams so clearly anymore I still believe we can change the world. – Even if just by changing ourselves I still think we can make things that […]

Boredom strikes: #1. The clock is ticking, every second further than the previous one. It is impossible but it does feel like it. Waiting for the hour to finish, I struggle to keep my senses awake, while holding my eyes open, grasping a memory of a fading happy attitude. But right now, life seems an endless misery… ~~~ #2. Time has stopped, or so it seems. I’ve been focused for a long time, submerged on that paper, not blank anymore, while the breeze is coming through the window with smells […]

The contrast of light during the night from images and highlights textures that gives us different perspective and vision of ambients we may know very well during daylight, but that become so mysterious and surreal after the sunset.

No, sadly, this is not a post of my vacations in France, tasting la vie en rose. This September I started going to class for french and I wanted to write a little bit about it. Just to remember how it is to start something new like this. When we start learning a new skill it’s always a bit uncomfortable. We don’t even want to tell the world that we are beginners, because we know we are making many mistakes, and that… well, we are still quite bad at it. […]

Treat every corner of the outdoors as if it was a set for a still life portrait. Allow ourselves to spend some time realising how many details we miss. Then walk back to reality.

Welcome to February! The month of love! (and Carnival and NYFW…) It must be the saddest month of the year when we look for so many ways to put some sparkle and glow into it! Even the sun has kept shining and we’ve had some (almost unusual) good weather, we all know that the end of January and beginning of February are a little hard. One month into the new year, how are you doing? Love is in the air I hope your love life is healthy because, if not, […]

How do you find life in the city? I haven’t always been living here and even it has its challenges, it’s nice to rejoice in all the small pleasures it brings. So I’d like to detail some of them and maybe inspire you to think about what you love about where you live right now too. I realise that tomorrow may be different, hopefully even better, but there will be things to miss and it would be a shame not to notice them while I can still enjoy them. I […]

Maybe this is why we call it Costa Daurada (Gold Coast). I loved capturing this sunrise, in a cold february morning. The textures of the sea surface, the really small waves, the changing of colors happening so quickly, the reflections and shadows…

To dream of winterscapes, be it from memory or imagination, is there anything else to think about right now? Let’s get to it. Time has stopped, the clock has lost its purpose. Now, here, there’s no rush for anything. Forgetting what time it is, when to eat, when to go to sleep, and wake up. No schedule to follow. And the snow is falling so slowly this present moment feels like a movie… It’s cold outside, so warm inside. Cozing, with books to read and endless hours to let the […]

I hope you’ve enjoyed a beautiful festive season and the start of 2024 is looking bright for you. You’ve probably seen loved ones, ate a bit too much, felt a bit guilty and started exercising… You may have been joyful, although maybe felt a bit sad as well: it was the end of a year, you may miss other times, some people, desires yet to fulfill… But Christmas is all about rejoicing on the riches we have, the luck we’ve experienced and the gratitude for all that’s lived. Plus, the […]
