Patricia Allende. Madrid 1954
Patricia Allende. Madrid 1954

Nature has taught me to see, to feel. Through the camera I have been able to transmit and capture my feelings, passions and obsessions.
I look for the abstraction of reality, fragmenting it… reaching the subjective, the final thought of the image.
Photography transmits.
It makes us feel, create, imagine.
His power lies in his mesmerizing illusion of reality.
