Market reflections - Barcelona (2018) Photography by Kavi Sanchez

Kavi Sanchez is a photographer whose passion for art was born from a chance and unexpected encounter with a problem. Convinced that the appearances of problems and opportunities are primed for a non-chance encounter, he firmly believes that they offer a chance to decipher a solution that will lead him in a new direction.

This conviction led him to launch into photography a long time ago, following an unusual and unforeseen commission. A regular client, in the field of interior design, one day asked him for a very special photograph of the Palacio de Cristal in Madrid, where he had to reflect a dreamlike autumnal atmosphere and the passage of daylight.

Despite the fact that the leaves had not yet fallen, he waited several days to also find a sky that would showcase the perfect environment. He went for it, found the perfect angle, and set up his tripod for hours (just so the last photo was of the street lights lit to capture their golden reflection on the pond).

The different shots were merged into one with careful editing to obtain the final frame. The gratitude and immense sensations felt throughout the process were the trigger for the beginning of his new vision of reality, interpreted as he wished through photography. His problem at the time became non-existent and was immediately dismissed.

The pillars of his life, which he needs to continually nourish himself, are travel, freedom, solitude, observation and architecture merged into one. He decided to challenge himself with more personal orders. He quickly gathered his motorcycle, his car, trains and planes to help him find thrilling places. With his tripod in position, all he needed was a few hours of observation and note-taking to begin to visualize his own version of reality.

His goal with photography is to reflect through it the spaces and the life that they cause when he has this information from his emotional memory, because architecture and hidden spaces are linked to emotional memory in our lives, where let them be. He understands art as the attempt to find and shape that emotional memory that appears in each of us at some point in our lives.
