About



Gustavo Guinand Rodriguez
Caracas, Venezuela 1951, now live in Madrid, Miami, Caracas...I started from the age of 12 photography with a Kodak Brownie and the magic of the dark room.
I am passionate about photography, whether it is capturing landscapes, people, moments, feelings, Motion Blur; the essence of the photographic moment.
My conceptual photography covers several aspects: portraits, nudes, landscapes and projects (Motion Blur). My influences are very varied come from my personal search in different moments of my life. I am also passionate about reading Carl's G. Jung, Freud, Thailand by Chardin, D.T. Suzuki as well as in the study of the Greek philosophers and contemporary thinkers such as Thomas Moore or Lou Marinoff. In art my inspiration I can refer to the work of: De Chirico, Dalí, Escher, Magritte, or Man Ray. But I am an enthusiast of the study of classical painters in museums and exhibitions.
Now I am working with a iPhone 11pro and IpadPro with Procreate, Snapseed and Plotaverse for drawings, transforming images, conceptual art and animate.
