About Jesús

He / him is a visual artist from Puebla Mexico that believes that the photograph is an object that must be cared for by hand, heart and eye.

Using landscape and portraits as visual tools to expose his interest and beliefs, combined with a large interest in long - standing photo processing and printing techniques, his approach to image making rests mainly in film and analogue processes. With a preference for photographic projects that involve places and ambients that could be perceived as forgotten or ignored, he's invested in showing the feeling of change, the excitement of discovery, and the connection with his surroundings.

Worried about how North America is currently building it's cities and it's shared transit space, Valerdi's work emphasizes on sharing social insight about the perception of success and failure as a member of society. Jesus showcases how poor transit design and a lack of real will for a greener approach to life, ends up affecting not only those who choose to commute or live different, but also the more general public by allowing living space to turn into machines or empty asphalt fields.
