Un fotógrafo puede apostar mostrarle al mundo lo que el ve o lo que el mundo quiere ver. El trabajo personal de Jorge “Coque” Gamboa nos lleva por los senderos de lo que la mente ve y lo que flota en las imágenes construidas de la memoria y la percepción colectiva de las cosas, las cuales están empapadas de una constante búsqueda de un lenguaje propio, de gran valor estético. Su mensaje invita a la reflexión de lo humano, la fuerza natural y lo divino, al juntarlas en un sólo momento. La opción del blanco y negro le ha permitido a través de los años indagar profundamente en estas interacciones para crear atmósferas que no hablan de carencia de color, si no de suficiencia de luz y sombras.

A photographer can show the world what it wants to see, or bet to show what he sees through his lens. The work of Jorge «Coque» Gamboa takes us along the paths of what the mind sees and what floats in the images constructed from memory and the collective perception of things, which are soaked in a constant search for a singular language of great aesthetic value. His work has thought-provoking messages of the human, the natural and the divine forces, and to brings them all together in a single moment. The black and white option he has chosen has allowed him over the years deeply inquire into these interactions, so as to create atmospheres that do not talk about lack of color, but rather an abundancy of intriguing and bewildering lights and shadows.
