The grain project

The Grain Project is a long-term exploration born from in-depth research and artistic experimentation. It marks a crucial moment in my journey, representing the culmination of a personal process developed over time to define a photographic language that is uniquely mine.

Through this project, I assert a vision: a way of seeing, constructing images, and sharing a particular sensitivity.

The Grain Project pushes the boundaries and explores the possibilities of analog photography. Photography is not just about manipulating light; it is also about working with chemistry. This project questions the photographic material itself—fragile, unstable, and sometimes unpredictable and exists in a constant dialogue between the precision of the technique and the response of the surface.

The work is deeply rooted in the materiality of the image. Developed entirely in the darkroom, it relies on traditional processes and manual interventions. The materials such as papers, supports, baths, and exposure times each influence the final result. These technical choices, often born from patient experimentation, give rise to the unique aesthetic of the project.

It features a strong, intentional grain that feels almost tactile; minimalist forms, simple compositions, and an impression of drawing or engraving. Each image bears the mark of a deliberate process, serving a distinctive and cohesive style.

The Grain Project is more than a collection of images, it is an ongoing field of experimentation that has shaped my approach to photography and the way I think about the medium. It offers a perspective, a visual language, and contributes to the development of a personal body of work conceived as a whole.

From The Grain Project arose the series Beyond the Veil. This series features portraits and more abstract photographs, all united by a common aesthetic. While The Grain Project represents the language, Beyond the Veil is its first expression, its "sentence," perhaps—offering a deeper, more personal exploration of the themes that have shaped my work.
