I am a Colombian filmmaker and communicator, trained in directing and photography, living between Pasto and Barcelona. I am interested in human behavior at its limits: stories born in marginalized contexts, marked by abuse, loss, and sometimes, hope. Through my work, I seek to show how processes of transformation and redemption can also emerge from the deepest conflicts. I love freedom in all its forms, and I find in the camera a way to honor it: a tool to observe, understand, and reveal the invisible. I see cinema as a form of living memory, capable of awakening consciousness and reconnecting human beings with their own essence.
