Who is behind ARTsolutely

My name is Fernando Paramio, I am an artistic photographer and the founder of ARTsolutely.
In August 2018 I opened a gallery in Cáceres (Spain) and I launched this website, in which I have created practically everything you see (images, texts, design…).
With my online and street gallery, my goal is to show and offer the visitor genuine photographs and artworks, of great interest and quality, and to achieve direct interaction with my visitors in case they wish.
Below I provide more information about me in case you are interested.
You can also find more information about me or additional images in my blog and also in:

I was born in Barcelona -nearly by chance- in 1977. Shortly after I moved to Madrid and then to Cáceres, a small but charming town, as evidence the fact that it is a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
I remember my childhood climbing to every place I could, continuously running, playing and fighting with my siblings, visiting the countryside every weekend, reading all I could (I used to devour Roald Dahl’s books), spending time with friends in the old town of Cáceres and travelling around Europe with my family in summer.
I discovered my passion for photography at the age of 13.

At the age of
In that same period, I bought a medium format camera. This type of camera has a higher
At the end of my university
When I finished my degree, I travelled to England for a year trying to leave behind my academic studies, but
After more than a decade working and living in different cities and countries, I decided to return to my almost natal Cáceres, to focus my activity on artistic photography. Our attitude really changes when we are doing something that we love, and
Artistic photography is my passion. When I create a new idea, I enjoy the fact that it can be confused with simply a photograph, when in reality my images are usually comprised by dozens of my photographs, combined using complex digital techniques.
My main interests are nature, psychology and culture, elements that are always present in my creations.
I am very strict with the technical quality of my artworks, and that is why I am keep learning as much as I can to make things more realistic, quicker, and to knock down any wall that limits my creativity.
I also print my own images at any size, so from the beginning of the process (the photographic shoot) until the last step (printing), I take the appearance of my images exactly where I want them to go.
