Barcelona native Pere Ibañez has earned international recognition for his emotionally-charged artwork. Drawing inspiration from the dramatic and suspenseful styles of classic horror films, these images seek to explore aspects of human nature that often go underplayed and trivialised.  Instead, through photography and poetry, Ibañez magnifies both the falls and ascensions of the human experience through his own lens.

Pere Ibañez’s works have been embraced around the globe.  His four books have been released over 22 countries to date, all of them ranking #1 in iTunes sales for art eBooks in Spain.  His work has received international awards and honour mentions while been featured in exhibitions and publications across the US, Asia and Europe.

Having explored themes of domestic violence, societal pressure on the individual, racism and homophobia among other social issues, his new photo-series, Syzygy, examines the duality of human nature. Collaborating with Chinese NGO CandleX.cn in a Bipolar Disorder Awareness Campaign, this new collection explores the highs and lows of the illness, drawing on personal experience while battling depression and using the analogy of planetary juxtaposition to illustrate the two opposite ends of the mood spectrum.
