Memento Mori

Description

Memento Mori presents a bearded, tattooed man resting beside a clear glass shaped like a skull. Monochrome tones and the stark black background give the portrait a quiet, contemplative mood, while the glass draws the eye to its sculpted details. This striking piece brings a thoughtful focal point to a personal 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.
