(SOMETHING) ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I began in this little world of photography thanks to the summertime and the chances of life. It was 1988 and, even without too much knowledge, I was providing some graphic reports for the weekly journal "La hoja del Lunes" in Oviedo. Later, my first Course in Photography would help me to get closer to the knowledge, although learning was still far away. In this course, I experienced my first contact with the material for painting photographs. After that, everything was self-taught, with the help of proving, failing and feeling, as well as to few visual references that I found in those times. At present, I continue to experience and try to colour..."those short and brief moments that life bring to us"...

ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE........

I can say very little about the technique. It is simply based upon making a good black and white picture, selecting the photografhic paper to print it (I never use glossy paper), and then applying colour directly onto the printed photograph using water colours and the help of a small brush. And then the rest...patience, imagination, good music and lots of trials to gain a good movement of the brush on the picture, which is patiently waiting to be transformed by the colour...............

ABOUT THIS WEB

With the creation of this web page I pretend to potentiate a little bit of other types of pictures which are different from the usual. In addition, this is a way of showing
"ASTURIAS COLOREADA"
a live exhibition that I will soon try to display in real places where everybody can take a closer look of it. I also want to evince that, from Asturias and from anonymity, many people want to open up the doors to Art!
If you have any suggetions,comments,or if you know about a place to display exhibitions,please do not hesitate to contact me¡¡
At this moment, I just wish you to enjoy my pictures. Some of them are a little heavy...be patient, you will like them!
