"After studying architecture, design, and philosophy, I dived into photography with an enthusiasm that drove me forward, or better yet, inwards. I hoped to discover within myself, rather than outside, what I wanted to capture. I chose to take unprepared pictures, trying to express myself with economical resources and focusing on the essential details that struck me. I aimed to suggest clearly and present without describing."
"Among the many ways to combat nothingness,one of the best is taking pictures".
Julio Cortázar
• "It is assumed that the greatest contribution you can make as an artist, taking the reality lived in perspective, is your personal "view" radically poetic in the scenery of spaces, absent of people. In this sense, the photographic work of Guillermo de Angelis is paradigmatic. The camera lens is pure subjectivity in terms of that his "view" is the conceptual and essential character of his poetic account about the "unreal", as it should be, and as should do
a visual poet."
Luis Eduardo Aute: musician, singer, film director, actor, sculptor, writer, painter and spanish poet.
• "Black and white environments where the absence of beings result in a space of freedom: the viewer is free to stop at the scene and establish a dialogue with it, or get lost in his own dreaminess."
Cristina Requena: Art consultant and director of art Gallery Artemisia, general representative of the artist from Barcelona.
• "If you want to seek for the harmony between the physical and the metaphysical, I recommend you should enter the world of Guillermo De Angelis.”
Takuma Yoshikura: Director of GALLERY IND. Gallery representative in Japan.
• "The expressive photography of Guillermo De Angelis, purely speak loudly to the souls and need no further explanation."
Mona Youseff: B.F.A., Canadian Fine Artist, Mona Youssef Gallery.
• “Guillermo is one of the most engaged and productive artist, is our primary artist through our gallery, constantly producing ever more stunning work, always engaged and ready to take artistic risks, ready to continue with his personal vision that is emotionally powerful.
Pierre Dutertre: President, creator and co-founder in United Photographic Artists Gallery, Tampa, USA.
• "Often I've wondered when I view the photography of Guillermo De Angelis, are others just as emotionally moved with his subjects? Are you paying attention to this depth accepting the emotions of isolation and details of focus? The absence and stillness?"
Monica Gioeli: Monica Gioeli: Art and Interior Design, California, EEUU.
• “There is a potent quality of silence which infuses the work as if everything has paused in time and space leaving only the evidence of their existence by image alone.The apparent simplicity of the work is deceiving, like Japanese ink drawing which is created swiftly with precision and belies the fact that the results are actually the product of intense looking and focused practice. The images invite a deep meditation on light and darkness, and not only in photographic terms.”
Michele Woodey: Director of Hoop Gallery, Ontario, Canada.
