Guille Ibanez
“Tierra Santa”
Guille Ibañez left his home country almost two decades ago. This thought was what sparked in the photographer the beginning of a personal journey of photographing occurrences and locations throughout Spain that could bring people together and help define the country’s personality.
In his photography series “Tierra Santa,” Ibañez presents a captivating tapestry of images that encapsulate the spirit of Spain. The collection features scenes that range from joyful, colorful, and vibrant to raw and dark, reflecting the shared history that has shaped the country’s identity for centuries.
Each photograph serves as a visual testament to the rich cultural fabric of Spain and the resilience of its people.
TIERRA SANTA
A Visual Exploration of Spain’s Rich Heritage
Throughout “Tierra Santa,” several implicit themes emerge, such as the photographer’s search for a sense of belonging. This quest mirrors the journey of the individuals he photographs, each striving to find their place within the larger context of Spanish society.
The series delves into the theme of faith, often depicted through the rich iconography that pervades Spanish culture. Regional pride is another recurring motif, highlighting the diverse traditions and customs that set each region apart while simultaneously uniting the nation.
“Tierra Santa” is Ibañez’s personal endeavor to reestablish a connection with his roots, which he feels are gradually eroding over time. Through his evocative images, he invites viewers to join him on this journey of rediscovery, offering a fresh perspective on the essence of Spain and its enduring legacy.
