About Matilde:
I paint, I draw and I take photographs. My recent work involves the exploration of a type of photography that has strong painterly qualities. I am capturing moments in port cities to single them out with a digital camera. I do not post produce the photos, and that is probably the only link between my work and traditional photography: working direct shot. It is much more fascinating than altering the photos with a program afterwards because it is faithful to the moment. However I strongly believe the most challenging part of digital photography today is editing: sometimes I return with 400 photos of one night. The following morning it can get pretty intense.
All my work is linked to water somehow, I love the ocean. It makes me feel good every time. I rely a lot on the ocean being there.
