5. Lluívia Tudela
For the past ten years, artist Lluís Tudela (Girona, 1988), now based in Barcelona, has been creating and studying on image. Additionally, he is involved in film, video, and contemporary art projects. As an author, he will speak about photography as a form of subjective expression and a means of expressing emotional and aesthetic feelings.
Why you will get inspired
Llus Tudela's photography expression examines the poetics of the picture and comments on universal themes and contemporary elements. He creates aesthetic and intellectual emotions by starting with ordinary life and naturalness.
His attention is drawn to notions concerning the human psyche, points of view, and organic and artificial processes involving social commitment, such as dualities, hybridization, confrontations, camouflages, integrations, mutations, or transformations. Tudela believes that analogue photography has the potential to generate critical debate in the context of contemporary art.
