It was in the summer of 2015 when for the first time, with a bridge camera, I captured one of the wonders of nature: a zunzuncito that I found on a trip through Sancti Sp\u00edritus. I was lucky, because I caught him perched on a branch, where he stayed for a long time. It seemed like an exceptional moment; it is a bird that is usually on the move. It was for me the beginning, the decisive moment, the one that Master Cartier-Bresson spoke of.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are all born with gifts, and we discover them in the course of life; but in my case, art runs through my veins like blood itself. I have many artists in the family; among them, other photographers who have been an inspiration to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These years of learning have been exciting and fruitful. I have met wonderful people who have contributed to my artistic career. Some are special, like Lorena, my adventure partner for six years and a model on occasions; my mom, who nurtures me from Psychology, because photography is a career that requires the support of many disciplines. I also thank the Lente Art\u00edstico site and the Prismas Instant Gallery for opening their doors to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 679px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Bella-Durmiente-Cienfuegos-Cuba-2022.-Obra-finalista-en-la-VII-FotoNaraton-Iberoamericana-2022-Foto-Franko-679x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\u201cSleeping Beauty,\u201d Cienfuegos.

My fields of development now are documentary and conceptual photography, two lines that since I began to study and go through the different genres have caught my attention. They are the ideal vehicle for my purposes in this art that, by the way, should be considered the seventh, because without photography there is no cinema.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For me, photography is a means to reinterpret reality, and communicate it transformed into images, according to the criteria of each artist. It is what I seek, to transmit what I live and feel in each space in which I find myself in society. This gives me peace and joy, because I know I am giving my small contribution to history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Domestic scenes<\/b><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Angel-cienfuegos-cuba-2022-de-la-serie-escenas-domesticas-foto-Franko-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\u201cAngel,\u201d Cienfuegos, 2022.

In the series we can find a diversity of scenarios of the routine of the Cuban home, from someone carrying out an activity in the midst of the total lack of electricity, something frequent these days, to sui generis scenarios and protagonists who propose to the viewer a different narrative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a work in progress. Works are missing that are gradually being conceived. Here I work with purely documentary photography, combining it with previously elaborated scenarios, under complementary color schemes based on palettes used in cinema.
