Photo that belongs to a polyptych made up of 10 photographic works of different sizes, in the form of a cosmology, where different periods and dimensions of the life cycle are symbolically captured. The series "Ephemeral" deals with the unknown and imperfect beauty. Focusing on the various interconnected artistic views of an androgynous female model, these images evoke the four ages of human beings (through aspects such as birth, breastfeeding, adolescent rebellion, maturity, ageing and death). Concepts such as existence, destruction, life and death are treated symbolically in this project, thus proposing a reflection on the loneliness and transience of life. This international and innovative project, which combines 3D computer graphics with digital photography, delves into the unknown origin and end of the human being and the fragile imperfect beauty as a metaphor for the ephemeral nature of beauty and life.The series focuses on a face that acts as a changing and versatile entity (plays of colour and light, marked features with unconventional make-up, movement and constant evolution). The face, the protagonist, stands out against a neutral background and alludes to a particular concept of beauty (sometimes unusual, alien and even monstrous), to its ephemeral nature and to the passage of time. Make-up, a symbol of consumerism, also functions as a mask, moving away from conventionalisms and the traditional representation of the portrait, reflecting on the idea of identity and constituting a proposal of make-up as a contemporary mask that camouflages and protects us and also helps us to construct a superego. With dramatic and creative aesthetics, Efímera is a reflection on the passage of time, but also a powerful ode to diversity and freedom.Paco Peregrín is an Andalusian photographer, currently considered one of the world's leading talents in artistic, editorial and advertising photography, always highlighting his experimental side in all his work, characterised by its strength and forcefulness.he was trained in Seville, adopting a mystical sensibility of compositional schemes and chromaticism inspired by baroque art. It is possible that it was his theatrical experience that gave him the ability to direct his models in front of his camera, to develop his spatial perception and to show the body, presence and time in his work. He currently lives in Madrid, a detail that, together with his time in important cultural capitals (London, New York...) has added contemporaneity and freshness to his work, which is unique. It is also important to highlight his wide experience in design, communication, theatre and painting, alternating fashion photography for magazines such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar or L'Officiel with commercial work for brands such as Dior, Chanel, Saint Laurent, L'Oréal Paris, Adidas, Nike, Gant, Toyota, Lancôme, Shiseido... with signature photography, having exhibited his work in galleries in New York, Paris, Barcelona, Beijing, Madrid, Berlin, Seville, San Sebastián, etc.
