With this project, the possibility of approaching photography from the point of view of painting is explored. Instead of seeing photography as a threat to painting, photography is reinterpreted and recontextualised through the visual language and aesthetic principles of painting. This reversal of perspective allows for a creative dialogue between the two media.
Following Hammershøi's style, the aim is to capture the introspective and minimalist atmosphere characteristic of his interiors, recreating all the scenarios on a real scale.
Born in Spain in 1983, Andrés Gallego began his relationship with photography in 2017. He has found in this art a form of personal expression, which allows him to realice his ideas and projects in a creative and different way. A great lover of photography in all its disciplines, he has found in staged portraits a way of creating parallel worlds in the style of the old masters.
Practically self-taught, he has drawn his inspiration from classical painting and from artists such as Eugenio Recuenco, LeTurk, Gregory Crewdson and Kate Woodman, among others.
