Andres Canal is a photographer whose work revolves around staging contemporary architecture and its lines, enhanced by a unique treatment of black-and-white light. Through his images, Canal manages to transform structures by playing with the interaction between geometric lines, shadows, and light. His approach aims to capture a subtle balance between these elements, creating compositions where every detail has its place.
The human presence, a common denominator in his work, is essential to Canal’s art. The human figure is never more than a vanishing point, a silhouette that guides the viewer's gaze through the architectural lines, thus adding depth to the image. The individual becomes the link between space and the viewer, a way of measuring the scale and power of the architecture he immortalizes. With this approach, Canal questions the relationship between humans and modern architecture, while offering a reflection on the interaction between the individual and their environment.
