SURREAL BANQUET

(Photography), (Creative Direction)
︎ 2025

SURREAL BANQUET is a photographic series exploring the intersection
of food, art, and surrealism through playful and unexpected scenes.

This project pays homage to Les Dîners de Gala by Salvador Dalí—a
beautiful cookbook where food transcends its physicality and becomes
a vessel for excess, sensuality, fantasy, and philosophical
reflection.

Through a series of carefully crafted scenes, this project explores the
relationship between indulgence and discomfort, creating a dreamlike
yet unsettling atmosphere infused with a playful sense of fantasy.

SURREAL BANQUET is where food becomes more than sustenance—
it transforms into a tool for introspection, with the human body
acting as a medium for both consumption and contemplation. It
encourages viewers to explore their own relationship with desire,
excess, and fantasy through symbolic, hauntingly playful scenes.

SOMOS VINO 2

(Product), (Creative Direction)
︎ 2024

Somos Vino is a progressive wine provider
that is looking to break the mold in the
industry.

We provided a different approach to
wine product communication while
playing with color, storytelling and sensory
experiences.

We kept the traditional bones of wine
(like the importance of food), but we gave it
a spin to make it feel fresh and modern.

HEAT WAVE

︎ 2025

HEAT WAVE is a visual exercise that explores compositions with the
human form and various types of food. The goal is to create a dynamic
visual play in a moment of intense heat, spritz, and orange ice cream. 

You can almost picture yourself there: the intense heat that sends drips
of sweat down your neck, the smell of oranges or the sticky fingers from
melting ice cream.

CLASSIC COCKTAILS

(Photography), (Drink Styling)
︎ 2025

DRINK STYLING for classic cocktails like a negroni, a dirty martini, 
an espresso martini or an old fashioned. 

Each drink requires specific attention to detail like the colors used, the
glassware, the type of ice (if any), and the overall feel of the drink. That’s
where drink styling comes in, it’s all about wrapping up all of those concepts
and presenting them as a desirable final product: enticing, elegant and
undeniably irresistible.
