About Artist

Adrian Urrejola

I was born on August 6, 1960 in Guatemala City. Since I was very young I have been attracted by how the image can be transformed into an aesthetic concept, my photography has also been accompanied by science. I bought my first professional camera in Virginia Beach, United States ( 1980) . During my years of study at the University, I had to give up photography and only took isolated photographs. My first photographic series was in 1990, in a project for the ecological conservation of the Sierra de las Minas in Guatemala, still in the analogue era. My photographic art has belatedly come into my life, but not in the autumn of her. Speaking in classical terms, my photographic conception is still in its 'Prelude'. The change to the digital age helped me to get back into photography (2008). Currently, I have seen images of great photographers who leave a profound impact in the spirit of an individual. Images that speak to us through its literal aesthetic. Still, I believe an image transcends its aesthetic. A gorgeous photograph is not only visually beautiful, it conveys a transcendental meaning to the viewer. As I learn about the timeless photographers, including Vivian Maier, Ansel Adams, Julio Zadic (Guatemala) — the list continues to grow every day. For the most part, my learning is self-taught, I have taken courses, I have won competitions and I have been published in magazines and photobooks. My photography is a personal timeless adventure I try to live with intensity.
