Researcher| Author| Photographer

Hey there! I’m Luisa, a creative enthusiast who loves blending the art of writing and photography to spark conversations and dive deep into the stories that shape our world.

E very time I pick up my camera or sit down to write, I’m on a mission to uncover the narratives that make us who we are, kickstart meaningful dialogues, and shine a light on the untold tales. My work is all about capturing the vibe of culture, identity, and change.

If you’re an event manager looking to add some storytelling magic to your events, I’ve got an eye for the details and moments that matter. For book editorials on the hunt for new and engaging voices, my writing brings fresh perspectives and resonates with readers on a deep level.

Take a peek at my portfolio and let’s team up to create something truly memorable. Let’s tell those stories that need to be heard and make every moment count.

Poetry book: No guardamos las semillas

Libro de poesía - autora Colombiana - No guardamos las semillas

I wrote ‘We Did Not Keep the Seeds’ as an exploration of the intricate interplay between nature, memory, environmental, and social consciousness in both the Colombian and European landscapes. By setting the narrative against the backdrop of my Colombian roots and the country’s conflict, I aimed to adopt a contemplative stance, offering a unique perspective from a distant vantage point. Through my reflective verses, the book delves into the profound impact of nature’s resilience intertwined with the tapestry of my personal memories, while simultaneously, I engage in introspective musings about the art of writing, adding a layer of meta-awareness to the poetry.

We Care: Photography and Poetry Exhibition

 

We Care explores those deep, familiar relationships and intergenerational connections. The 15 portraits and poetry that are part of this exhibition are a reflection of how daily life activities can become rituals of reflection about femininity, erotism and a way to transmit oral traditions from one generation to the next.
