Name/logo included in the acknowledgement/colophon of the book + 50 copies of the book.'Río', the book, comes from enormous photographic archive of a five years' work. The project began in early 2011, when I started taking pictures near the Tagus river, through the town of Aranjuez, Spain. All that time I was living very close to that area and I enjoyed walking around and exploring this territory.
Then I began to feel very much connected with nature and the landscape, inwardly, from a poetic sense. Very often I found myself walking for four or five hours, deep into the land and melting with the surroundings. I was really longing to become part of it.
A few months later, I decided to find more places, locations along the Tagus, from Guadalajara to Madrid's Community, ending in the Province of Toledo.
Further on in 2012, I was conscious that the project was far beyond only one river, deepening on the universal meaning of the "river", as an idea or concept. I felt the need to explore the river landscape in a wider sense. So I moved to others rivers, the Manzanares, Jarama, Eresma...
From 2011 to 2015 I kept on taking pictures. Then, only in 2015, I began to make several dummies, with the idea of making a book with the project.
In 2016 I contacted the editor and Art critic Steve Bisson and we began working together in order to publish the book.

He venido asombrándome con algunas fotografías de Río desde hace años; me alegra mucho poder disfrutar ahora de ver ese proyecto convertido en libro.
