Sandra Pereznieto

Sandra Pereznieto was born in Mexico City in 1967 and at the young age of thirteen she already knew that she will be a photographer.

She combined her photography studies with a Bachelor of Communication and specialization in Film and, since then, she has dedicated herself to architectural photography.

After several years of living in Paris, San Francisco, Groningen, Holland, and more than ten years developing her profession in Mexico, thanks to two scholarships from the Mexican Government to complement her studies at Oxford Brooks and Pompeu Fabra University she arrived to Barcelona, ​​where she lives since 1999.

Between Barcelona and Mexico City, she continues her work collaborating with prestigious architects, publishers and international magazines. She captures public and private spaces, while developing her own projects and teaching at the Ephemeral spaces Postgraduate course (Polytechnic University of Catalonia and Arquine).

Her poetic images allow us to glimpse her particular vision of the world. Through her work,she invites us to engage in an intimate and silent dialogue.

She integrates physical and abstract spaces caressing them with her deep and reflective gaze. Her play with light and gloom connects us with the invisible owner, that human footprint that, even when absent, lets the glimpse of his presence.

Her gaze transforms reality through narrative, drawing that subjective world so close to her emotions that at the same time it functions as a mirror in which we can reflect ourselves and which, frequently, leaves us with the sensation of peering into her most intimate thoughts.

Almost a decade ago she resumed her travels throughout Latin America in search of something that she felt she had lost along the way. Returning again and again to the same places has given her the opportunity to deepen her search through photography.

After a period of deep reflection, she faces the challenge of deciphering what her images suggest, instead of trying to tell only what she is willing to share. She embarks on a new path driven by her constant need to continue advancing in her creative processes.

She is determined to become aware of the way she relates to the world, after understanding that her need for privacy and individuality separates her from the sense of membership.

Her gaze through the lens allows her to connect with others, and is in that encounter that she sees herself projected between the folds of her photographies, in a back and forth dialogue that lasts.
