I do not search a descriptive landscape. Here you’ll not find Mount Everest or the famous peaks of Patagonia or Karakorum. Here you’ll find silence. Silence that can be in that mountains and deserts while I was there, or silence in which we sometimes plunge being surrounded by people.

In each of these images, so simple, cold and desolated there’s nothing more than my simple intention of reflection about silence. Silence that can fascinate or scare. Silence from which many intend to escape and in which some escape.
