“He encontrado en la fotografía una forma de expresión personal, que me permite proyectar mis ideas y proyectos de una manera creativa y diferente.»
Gran amante de la fotografía en todas sus disciplinas, ha encontrado en el lenguaje visual la forma de crear mundos paralelos en el que se desarrollan diferentes historias que transportan al espectador a diferentes puntos de sus experiencias personales.
Recibe sus principales influencias del mundo de la pintura clásica, obteniendo inspiración de grandes maestros como Velázquez, Caravaggio y Vermeer entre otros, así como de pintores mas contemporáneos como Edward Hopper, sin olvidar el impacto directo de la obra de artistas como Eugenio Recuenco, LeTurk, Erwin Olaf y Gregory Crewdson.

Andrés Gallego (Melilla, 1983)
«I have found in photography a form of personal expression, which allows me to project my ideas and projects in a creative and different way.«
I am a great lover of photography in all its disciplines, finding in staged portraits, a way to create parallel worlds in the style of the old masters.
Born in 1983 in Melilla, and currently residing in Castellón de la Plana, Spain, I began my relationship with photography in 2017. Practically self-taught, I draw my inspiration from classical painting and artists such as Eugenio Recuenco, LeTurk, Gregory Crewdson and Kate Woodman, among others.
