Lluís Tudela’s work explores the poetics of the image and reflects about universal themes and contemporary motifs through the photographic expression. He begins from everyday life and naturalness to generate aesthetic and conceptual sensations. His gaze points towards ideas about the human psyche, the points of view and the organic and artificial processes - such as dualities, hybridizations, confrontations, camouflages, integrations, mutations or transformations - with a social commitment. Tudela supports analogue photography as a discipline capable of generating critical discourses in the contemporary art context.
Tudela has worked for CONDÉ NAST, BLOOMBERG, STERN MAGAZINE GROUP, BRANDS & ROSES, INSTITUT RAMON LLULL, NANOUK FILMS, GOODGATE, ZETA CINEMA or CANADA. His photographs has been published in media such as TRAVELER, PITCHFORK, VOGUE, TIME OUT, YOROKOBU, E-FLUX, VEIN or PURPLE. Also in specific photographic platforms like PAPER JOURNAL (UK), IGNANT (DE), SPLASH & GRAB (UK), EXIT MAGAZINE (SP), BOOOOOOOM (CAN) or DER GREIF (DE).
