MARIANO VILLALBA

I was born the 2nd of April in 1977 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Self-taugth photographer and digital artist, I started to have interest in photography when I was 15 and I began to experiment whit digital techniques in Adobe Photoshop when I was 25.

I love manipulating images in order to create a surrealist style and I am totally convinced that Adobe Photoshop is the most wonderful tool invented to reach that results.

Nowadays, I compete in the most important national and international photo contest such as
(GRAND PRIX ALTHANI AWARDS 2008) Spain, Austria, France, EEUU, Poland,Italy,australia,Belgique and Argentina; and I have received 300 awards and acceptance all over the world.

I have made photos for CD's covers Music Bands ,Haunted Houses ,Halloween events and Horror Films Festivals I also have had numerous publications in many photography magazines and catalogues, and I have participated in world fairs in Europe and Argentina.

"En este recorrido que llevo de flickr, para mi Mariano Villalba es el representante mas importante del manejo de la imagen. Logra atmosferas y recrea situaciones especiales, lugubres y pasionales de una manera que no vi en otro lado. Sinceramente es facil quedarse perplejo, es un placer pasar a sentarse un rato y tratar de ver donde esta la punta del iceberg, donde comienza su creacion ....Se que mucho nos esta negado, a los demas que estamos del otro lado del vidrio...Al menos, nos apilamos, nos acompañamos y comentamos algo de lo que se nos ocurre, viendo su obra, y nos alentamos...quiza despues de mucho andar, lleguemos a recrear, inspirandonos en Mariano, algunas de las tantas imagenes que se disparan...viendo su obra.

Mis felicitaciones humildes y espero sigas deleitandonos a todos con tu arte. Saludos.

(Florencia Tucci y Naz-Web)"
