Rafael Navarro’s work started in the late 60s as a way of escaping reality, as a therapy to release the pressure form his responsibilities; photography was his last resort. But it is not until the 70s when his first series were first published. They were unusually modern for the time, and the way he interpreted the human body gave them a new meaning. Ever since, his work has always expanded to new directions, but, in some way or another, the nude, the skin of a woman’s body, were the center of the creation. Now, more than 30 years later, his work is still modern, not only in the way he approaches photography, but also in the meanings given to each and every image produced.
Along his extensive career, we can pin point several stages:
PRE-DIPTYCHS (1975-1985): Since the beginning of his career, he has extensively worked on the human figure. Showing and hiding, light and shadows, reality and imagination. His work reveals a very near sensibility. His images often extoll women. He uses this language to show his feelings, those he can’t express with words. However, there is always a revelation in his photographs. He gets to show things that were hidden to us otherwise. His first works will open the door to themes and references that will come back after the diptychs'period.
拉菲尔•纳瓦罗于1940年生于萨拉戈萨。他最初对摄影感兴趣是在70年代，并开始涉足新闻，戏剧和体育摄影。最后，他被造型艺术所吸引并由此发展出最具个人风格的表达方式。纳瓦罗去年底曾于北京举办了在中国的首次个展。据悉，本月在上海将再次的展览他的作品。
