DANIELA CÓRDOVA
ARTIST
I grew up as a dancer in Mexico. Throughout my life, I have danced as a form of expression, dance gave me the security to pursue an authentic and free path in arts and in life, it opened me the doors to an artistic world and left the constant movement impregnated in my soul.
I have studied and learned different types of artistic expressions, forging a diverse career in art. The camera is undoubtedly my favorite tool, it is a way to look into my inner self, how I perceive the world and what puts me on pause.
I started my career as a documentary photographer in Miami, FL and had the opportunity to be a finalist and exhibit my work in Art Techo, Art Basel 2014. Which propelled my work to different galleries and clients. My passion for traveling led me to write and photograph unique and remote places for Hotbook magazine, Mexico.
I have found my vision as an artist and the direction to guide my art thanks to the experiences I lived in different countries, with different cultures, embracing the constant change and growth that exists in our world.
These are feelings that I want my work to reflect, an example of this was the encounter with the Himba Tribe in Namibia, the creation of a book dedicated to them, to their women and the desire to find reality in our world.
My instinctive need to transform my experiences into art is still a mysterious phenomenon. Each experience transforms the artist, and each of my pieces reflects that.
I am an artist with a conscious perspective. I strongly believe in a world with cultural and social diversity, commitment and respect for authenticity, conscious growth and responsibility to protect the beauty of our planet.
The strong attraction I feel for capturing challenging places, cultures and situations is born from a deep desire to awaken interest in people who are drowning in their daily lives.
Photography is an excellent medium for nurturing human consciousness, a direct insight into reality. It is not only a beautiful art through which people keep memories. With photography I can influence and awaken others.
I have a great interest in constant movement, freedom and human connection. As a dancer I have felt this freedom, I have let dance to guide me into a life free of judgment and my intention is to transmit that.
My art and my travels has taken me to the most amazing, interesting and wild places on this earth, it is an honor to explore, capture moments that can last a lifetime and share them with the world.
