SOONOctober, 2024
Participation in the Inaugural Exhibition "LACDA Reboot and Reunion", organized by the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art (LACDA). This event marks a new beginning for the gallery, which reopens its doors at a new location at 410 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, after a long period of inactivity due to the pandemic.
The exhibition will take place from October 3 to 26, 2024, and will feature a selection of works representing the best in digital art and contemporary photography. My participation in this show includes a series of large-format pieces that explore the fusion of technology and visual art, a theme that has been central to my recent work.This event not only celebrates the reactivation of LACDA but also offers a platform to showcase how technology continues to transform contemporary art. Throughout the exhibition, the public will be able to see how digital processes influence image creation and how they can be used to challenge traditional art conventions.The exhibition is an opportunity for visitors to explore the complexities and possibilities of digital art in a context that promotes innovation and experimentation. I am proud to be part of this event and to contribute to the ongoing dialogue about the impact of technology on art.For more information about the exhibition and my participation, you can visit LACDA

May 24 - 26, 2024In immortal Paris, where the first glimmers of photography kissed time, I am preparing to join my voice to the symphony of lights and shadows that will resonate once more in its historic streets. This May, I have the privilege of intertwining my vision with that of other international photographers, each narrating stories without words, but brimming with emotions, thoughts, and revelations.From May 24th to 26th, my work will find sanctuary in the noble heart of Paris, at GALERIE JOSEPH LE PALAIS. This place is not just a space, but the threshold to a timeless dialogue with art, a bridge stretched between the yesterday and tomorrow of photography.I invite every wandering soul, every free spirit, and every dreamy heart to dive with us into this poetic meeting of gazes and lights. It will be a visual odyssey that promises to take us along unexplored paths of beauty and emotion, woven into the canvas of our collective humanity.The gallery is located at 5 RUE SAINT-MERRI, PARIS.
