Artist Statement

Christian Taylor Torres is an up-and-coming visual artist currently based in New England.

Photography is their primary medium, having photographed fashion shows, large corporate events, concerts, small local businesses, studio work, personal commissions, portfolio work and so on. Themes of texture, negative space, and the human body as a subject in and of itself are prevalent throughout the work. The intention of pursuing photography is to use its specific nuances and technicalities to most eloquently make personal statements. Labels, however, are intentionally avoided to remain open to other mediums of expression and creative opportunities presently incomprehensible.

Since the invention of the camera obscura, society has exponentially relied on visual media to express itself. Photography has changed how the world sees, and therein lies its power as a universal language. It is a core belief that sharing one’s perspective with integrity can build genuine community, so it’s a necessity to remain artistic in spite of systems that undervalue the true strength of art and the people who create it.
