Javier Mosquera
Born in 1978 in Ourense, Galicia, Javier Mosquera Cid developed an early appreciation for the natural world, eventually earning a degree in Marine Biology. His professional scientific career took him to diverse environments, including the Azores, Iceland, and the Amazon, where he began documenting the landscapes and cultures he encountered. This background in biology informs his photographic practice, allowing him to capture the intersection of nature, wildlife, and human experience with a unique, observant perspective that bridges the gap between scientific inquiry and artistic expression.
