Flowers photographed with a macro lens are always surprising: their geometric shapes, the combination of textures, the richness of the colour palette, the contrasts with the transformed backgrounds. The variety of their forms is infinite, different from one another, different from others of the same species, changing with the weather, with the light, with the air. Nothing seems to surpass a nature that has searched for the most original forms. We are ecstatic when we contemplate a flower and its captured image. Flowers appear to us with their own expression and evoke other images in their turn. Our mind seems to soar for a moment. This feeling of surprise, of unrealness, is recreated in these impossible photographs that arise from the combination of two photographs already incredible in their own uniqueness. And the result, as in a dream, becomes possible. The photographs presented have been taken with a Nikon D70 and a Sigma 105mm lens. The photographs were merged with the Union programme without retouching. The combined photographs were both colour and black and white.

About

I have been an amateur photographer for many years. Since the confinement due to the Covid19 pandemic, I have started to work more intensively on photography. I exhibited photographs at the Tres-e-u photo gallery in Vic (Barcelona) (https://www.treseu.cat) in September 2020 as part of the #fotoconfinades project, which brings together the work done by various photographers during the confinement. This exhibition has also be seen at the Carles Rahola Library in Girona in December 2020 and at the Terra Baixa Public Library in El Vendrell (Tarragona) in March 2021. I am currently preparing an exhibition as a guest photographer for the gallery Tres_e_u scheduled for the beginning of 2022. I am a member of the Board of Directors and of the cultural programming commission of one of the most prestigious cultural entities in the city of Barcelona, l'Ateneu Barcelonès (https://www.ateneubcn.org). I am a lecturer at the Faculty of Political Science and Sociology of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain).
