Daniel Agra

In the artistic field his work is defined as subjective, experimental and conceptual expressionist visual poetry, with a profound imaginative capacity and endowed with strong intuition. Defined by a resounding individual and experimental personal mark that allows him to mentally project a great deal of his compositions with a language and style full of symbolism.The defined perception and emotional depth of his work should be highlighted reflecting his interest in the subconscious, abandoned methods, dialogues and conventional and traditional photographic narratives which transcend their state to be symbolised in a deep analysis, to be recreated into a poetic frontier between the material and the spiritual, between man and the environments he inhabits, distinctive elements that emphasise the communicative character in his allegorical symbology and relative to the inner world, raising it to levels of evocative spirituality in transcendental and vindictive themes, on the existential importance of the individual in his creative freedom, a personal form of contemporary expression that does not bow to the established norms, an archetype through a vocabulary with meticulously selected images and iconographies.
Over time, his works have achieved wide appreciation, recognition and international dissemination. The more than 50 awards and international honour mentions of photography that he has achieved during his career should be emphasised, he has shown his work and participated in exhibitions across various countries, as well as published in assorted media and international art guides. His work can be found in national and international museums, foundations and private art and photography collections.

Project Statement

They are places of existence, memories and memories, containers of living beings and collective buildings that are densely occupied and that humans use and organize to make a life according to a social, cultural and economic structure. Infamous anthill, hypocrite and impositor of daily duties, a form of chaos where men and shadows sneak by, criss-crossing on the rivers of doubt, without an apparent final destination, becoming the abyss of the human species due to their lack of contact. with the sensitive, close, affable and warm, eliminating connections between thoughts, leading to the rupture of the existence of the individual himself. Nobody looks each other in the eye, thousands of beings living together in solitude.
Narrative-poetic texts of this Project
“A bridge is a word, our own path between desire and the attainment of wisdom, a wave of light and sound where we can speed across the rivers of doubt with no apparent final destination, connecting us between the dreams and reality of living beings and collective buildings.”
“We live in a society that educates us to fear being different, to think differently, something we must avoid in order to be part of it, relying solely on the strength of the collective. It rewards copying, silent obedience, and mimicry. Without question, we only contribute to creating a sick society. Mimicking oneself in order to belong and fit in is to erase freedom; it is to renounce oneself. Difference is the valuable force that makes us authentic, creative, and real, contributing to creating a healthy, strong, and vital society.”
“For the rebel, society is not against them; it has simply become irrelevant. The crowd, transformed into a recreation of contempt, buries divergent and discrepant views, allowing the individual, from their vantage point as mere spectators, to observe how the collective is moving toward self-destruction, fueled by its narcissistic complacency.”
