Despite having a special interest in the surroundings, Lisette Pons’s photographs do not keep a documentary distance, but instead seek to bear witness to the artist’s feelings and experiences. In this way, they become a fragment of the memory and of what endures after contact with the world.
The black and white and the process of research in the laboratory give the final result a certain abstraction that adds a highly emotional aspect to the photographs. In a period such as the current one, in which the photographic image is abundant and constantly communicative, the artist offers us some silent photographs that allow us to reflect on human behaviour and existence.
Photographer and independent curator, Prieto makes portraits without seeking originality. He seeks an exchange of looks between the subject and the photographer who is portraying them, which results in a character who gazes at the viewer in a very deep way. Void of distractions or other elements in the way, his photographs are descriptive and with a clear and natural look.
He held the exhibition Punt de Vista (Point of view) at Museu Palau Solterra, in homage to the photograph Somiant (Dreaming) that the artist Pere Formiguera took of Antoni Vila Casas, in a dialogue with portraits of forty artists linked to Fundació Vila Casas and the Empordà.
