Discoveries Award PHotoESPAÑA 2022
JORGE LOPEZ. THE CLOTH
El Clot, in Valencia, is a neighborhood that has practically disappeared, of which only the port block remains standing. Its inhabitants are mostly gypsy families who have occupied the floors of the building that were abandoned. The Clot is a documentary and portrait artistic photography project. This work constitutes a reflection, a way of exploring the world and understanding it. As the photographer points out: “I am looking for a portrait that is unwavering yet intimate, direct yet sensitive, objectively powerful yet full of personal emotion, the product of a commitment to people and their environment, trying to represent both their strength and their vulnerability.”
This project awarded in the call Discoveries PHotoESPAÑA 2022 was part of the portfolio viewing of PHotoESPAÑA Santander and will be part of the Official Section of PHotoESPAÑA 2023.

Audience Award 2022
ROYAL BOTANICAL GARDEN: FANTASIES IN THE MEADOW. ALBERTO GARCIA-ALIX
The National Photography Award Alberto García-Alix has presented at PHotoESPAÑA 2022, by the hand of ENAIRE Foundation, her project Fantasies in El Prado, an evocative work in which the artist intervenes on some of the works in the art gallery.
Using analog photography and through double exposures of fragments of the same work of art on a single negative, García-Alix creates an extraordinary "fantasy" within the painting itself. Through various frames and overlays, the photographer reinterprets the work of art, maintaining the essence and character of the Prado pieces. Works by Goya, El Greco, Van der Weyden, Velázquez... through the filter of the camera of one of the great Spanish photographers, for whom the Prado Museum "is the best photography school".
