JESUS CHAMIZO

BIOGRAPHY

From behind his lens, Jesús Chamizo plays with form, colour, line and light. The photographer, fascinated by architecture, has been steeped in the visual arts from a young age. He studied photography in various schools from 1977 to 1980, the year of his first show. Based in Madrid, he is known worldwide for his architectural photography. The winner of multiple prizes - the Lux Award (1994, 2010, 2012), the Médaille d’Or at the Cannes Lions, the International Festival of Creativity (1997), and the winner of six prizes at the International Photography Awards in 2018 alone - the artist carefully considers every line, every curve, light and shape as a vector for emotion. Each of his images is composed with complex feeling that tends to reflect the impact of humans on the environment, and inversely the influence of this impact on people over time. Jesús Chamizo is also regularly sought out by prestigious brands such as Seat, Loewe, BMW, Chivas, Mercedes, Peugeot, Chrysler, Honda, Opel, Mitsubishi, Ford, Coca Cola, and more.  ...
