“The photographs in this series have been taken over the last four years. In them, Pablo documents his closest environment and consciously pursues the creation of intimate spaces, where the search for his own personal experience motivates the act of shooting and vice versa.
Private Scenes '92 is the title of the last exhibition that Masahisa Fukase did before suffering his terrible accident. This, and other post-war Japanese photographers, have had a great influence on Pablo, but it is also those private scenes or intimate spaces where he has found his playground and comfort zone when it comes to expressing himself artistically. Motivated by the search for his own language and looking for a way of representing reality in a more faithful way to how he lives it, the value of these photographs lies too in the experimental process behind their conception and in the contrast with the immediacy and technical reproduction that characterize photography today.
In Pablo's work process there are chance events and imperfections, but, above all, there is time, a time that expands at the leisurely pace dictated by the darkroom.”
