Descripción del Artista
My name is José Luis Barcia Fernandez and I am 39 years old. I was born in Asturias, a beautiful region in the north Spain and I am currently living in Madrid. I have a chemistry degree and I work as a logistics manager in a multinational retail company.
I think my interest in art started when I was 13 and first saw Picasso's Guernica, one of my favorite paintings. I still remember the huge impression that I felt looking at that giant canvas and all its symbolism and meaning. In 2003 I became interested in photography and then I started to mix it digitally with painting, composing digital collages. Between 2004 and 2009 I participated in 20 national and international exhibitions of digital art and photography.
In 2011 I started making mobile photography with my iPhone4 and quickly became one of my favorite hobbies. I am interested in street and architecture photography. I try that my images offer multiple readings and express feelings and moods through an ever-present subject in all my photographs.
