Life deprived of beauty is not worthy of being called human.
Luis Barragan
Alberto Blanquel
captures beauty from the corners of the world that are often overlooked. Born and raised in Mexico, Blanquel's work is inspired by nature and untainted by traditions. He frames natural objects in unconventional ways to create monumental yet contemplative beauty. He focuses on microscopic objects or fleeting impressions, with an intention to truly "see" them - and help others to see things fully, as if for the first time. Blanquel's photographic work is part of his pursuit towards "total work of art", where utilizing all aspects of everyday to create beauty surrounding one's life.
