Memento Mori

Description

A monochrome portrait pairs a contemplative gaze with a candle topped by a sculpted skull-shaped vessel. The pale wax and glass stand out against the deep black background, while the label identifies its scent as Sublime Patchouli. This striking piece brings a distinctive, moody accent to your space.

Artist

I photograph the urban life of Barcelona with curiosity: street musicians, everyday encounters, Mediterranean architecture, and corners of the port. I seek stories in light, textures, and faces, between color and black and white.
