Observing the Earth from above reveals perspectives that often go unnoticed in our day-to-day lives. Our normal view, accustomed to the horizontal, is challenged by the aerial perspective, capable of transforming familiar landscapes into abstract patterns in unexpected places. This is frequently the case with mine drainage basins, sites that, at first glance, might only evoke the idea of environmental impact, but which, seen from above, transform into a world of colour and sensory abstraction.

My world has colour, sometimes a lot of it, but there are situations where black and white makes sense. It gives an extra note to the atmosphere, almost like that pinch of salt that our palate sometimes requires.

Over the years I've been photographing, I've avoided at all cost everything that can be identified with human presence, be it electricity pylons, fences, walls, everything, yet these structures are there and the natural environment interacts with them. I don't know when, but it's been a while since I started looking at these interactions differently, from the point of view of the aesthetics of the image and the balance that can sometimes be captured.

Migration flows have been largely interrupted, the climate in Europe, alias, everywhere is frankly warmer, there is a constant and easy availability of food. Our society has evolved in a way that concern for the environment is a factor that is not against it.
