Manuel Olarte delves into the depths of the subconscious to bring forth and construct images that lie in the realm of the unconscious. His work is an act of materialization of the intangible, the dreamlike, the intimate, a constant journey between the abstract and the figurative, always imbued with his own highly sensitive poetry. 
Each photograph is a reflection of the artist's most intimate and romantic emotions, an inner universe projected onto the visual canvas of the outer world. In each image, Olarte invites us to engage with his personal cosmos, where the boundaries between the real and the imaginary blur, as if they were charcoal strokes on paper. 
In his pursuit of his own expression, Olarte challenges the established conventions of classical photography, creating his own rhetoric that is in constant conversation between surrealism and abstract expressionism. The rejection of traditional photographic technique, in its ambiguity and rebellion, seeks to unsettle the viewer, leading them into uncharted territories within the field of photography. 
His camera becomes an instrument of spiritual transcendence, capturing not only images, but also the essence of the artist's soul and the metaphysics of his objects and subjects. Each photographic series is a window into his inner world, an invitation to immerse oneself in the nuances of his humanity.
