Daniela Labastida Salinas

Mexico City, 1990

 

“I see photography as a way of understanding and experiencing the world. It’s all about patience, listening and observation.”

 

I'm a Mexican artist currently living in France.

 

As a photographer, I explore the diverse and complex relationships between humans, animals and nature. Specially, I focus on how living beings interact with their surroundings. My work often depicts the natural world confronted with human environments.

​

My interests go from travels, anthropology and languages to cinema, education and literature. I believe in the power of art to encourage dialogue. And especially, I believe in the need of sharing with others to create a community and together improve our way of living.
