When I was 11 years old, my mother gave me a disposable camera for the end-of-school-year trip. She gave it to me with the intention that I would take pictures of Barcelona with my friends and keep the memories. She was very upset with me when she developed the film and realized that all the photos were of buildings, plants, and unknown people.
At the age of 15, she gifted me my first digital camera. Although I have somewhat set aside digital photography now and always carry my analog cameras, my photography still resembles that of the girl who spent two rolls of film wandering around Barcelona.
I studied artistic high school, graduated in Fine Arts at the Universitat Politècnica de València, and later completed the Master's in Artistic Production at the same university, specializing in photography and video.
I use the naked human body as a reflection of the disconnection with the body and interpersonal relationships; I portray my friends to speak about Generation Z, and sometimes I "spy" on strangers because they fascinate me.
