I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have met, all the women that I have loved; all the cities I have visited, all my ancestors.
Borges
The work of Andrés Marzul focuses on inducing meditative states through the contemplation of photography. The places, textures, and geometries that he captures collaborate harmoniously with the ever-changing nature of the universe, allowing his work to connect rather than impose.
"(My work) comes from a feeling of heritage, both from the giants I've been able to learn from across my life and the natural gut feeling we are all born with. The latter became a lighthouse in my life ever since I grabbed my first camera when I was 16. It is hard to understand what those things are that call desperately for our attention, but I believe they are elements of growth - a strange intertwined relationship between what we desire and how it desires us back."
Marzul's style is often described as minimalist and surreal. The elements he displays in his photography are meticulously chosen to convey a short and concise narrative. His love for classic and contemporary literature becomes evident, as if some of his photos were inspired by the softness captured in a Japanese haiku – a three-line poem that Marzul transforms into a visual experience.
His career as a photographer began in portrait photography, but he was soon asked to expand into documentary. A field that led him to develop a visual technique based on deep black-and-white contrast and to structure his photography with the symmetry and simplicity that characterizes it.
