TimeMag — Fri, 28 May 2010 07:35:17 +0000

In Barcelona we celebrate the Night of Saint John welcoming the summer solstice. It’s the shortest night of the year and it is surrounded by magic, symbols and legends. Three elements define this ancestral celebration. Fire is the purifying element that liberates us from bad luck. To this end, during the Night of Saint John, old furniture is heaped together to form bonfires and fireworks can be seen all over the city – an incomparable spectacle of light and sound. The second element is water, which is said to offer healing powers on this night.

“I portray what is not visible, what we do not show.

Each one of us is unique and different.

I search for “markers of identity”…I try to show what

Makes us be and differentiates us from the rest.” Oriol Llaurado

Self control and passion, conscience and unconsciousness, brain and heart. Both extremes are reflected in the work of Oriol Llaurado. Coming from the universe of architectural and interior photography, Llaurado has taken from those worlds the technique, the precision, the measurement and the light to inject them with his own dose of artistic passion. A passion always present in him and which he has been developing in giant steps since 2008.

His work is best enjoyed
