Roberto Alcaraz Oviedo's photographic journey reminds us that beauty is not confined to distant places; it's woven into the fabric of our everyday lives, waiting to be uncovered by those who know how to look.
SUMMER FLAGS: I love when people change the appearance of buildings. Everything was designed, except the towels…
DON’T THROW OBJECTS: “Don’t throw objects through the window” is a phrase that you can find in many hotels in Benidorm.
COMPARISON: The mix of observation and imagination is very entertaining. In this case I imagined two neighbor brokers. One invested better than the other.
SPACE BETWEEN: They say that Benidorm is the city with the most skyscrapers per capita in the world. People began to go because of the beach and the weather. Now the most expensive apartments are those that offer the best views of the space between buildings.
GEOMETRICS: When I was a teenager I failed math. Photography has taught me that geometry is a refuge for the soul.
BURGER: I am fascinated by finding similarities, signs, clues, metaphors... in the shape of things.
PINK, PINK, PINK: Maybe it's one of the oldest influences I have. As a child I was a big fan of the Pink Panther cartoons.
DENSITY: Faced with the dichotomy of density and uniqueness, I always choose density. Dense is popular, accessible… Unique things are usually exclusive things, in the worst sense of the word.
