Artist statement
José Talamás Abularach
was born in Cochabamba, Bolivia, where he resided until he moved to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, where he currently lives and works as an architect. Stimulated by his travels to areas of great biodiversity and culture in his country, he felt captivated by the places he visited, and drawn to photographing them. He being this channeling the artistic restlessness through amateur photography, and has continued to hone is craft through photography classes at a local university. He describes his art as “transgressed reality,” which he achieves through digitally edited and rendered photographs, sketches, or digital illustrations. He draws and edits everything on the computer, and ensures his productions take into account pigmentation, quality, and duration with the resulting file.
