Jose Conceptes was born in Vinaròs (Valencia), Spain in 1978 and trained at the Joso Visual Arts school in Barcelona during 1997-2001. He is now a conceptual photographer and creative graphic designer.
Jose is interested in what can be seen, what can’t be seen, and in those things that pass unnoticed by the human eye. He discovers new forms in the human eye, new forms in the banal. The artist plays with volume, shade and textures, from imprints of the landscape or creations of man. The camera is a tool to capture the dialogue that exists between objects and shadows, expressing an individual vision and physical paces. The photos fuse the past with the present and future offering indefinite pieces of work, without chronologic order, and which lend themselves to different interpretations. Each photo allows the viewer to extend imagination and form a personal reflection of the work.
Architecture and urban landscapes dominate his works. But it’s not the structures themselves that take preference, rather the powerful angles and shadows, and use of light that prevail in these black and white formats. These are highly studied compositions, where noting is random, except for the subjective opinion of the viewer. The artist strives that his photos possess simplicity, clean lines and stillness, characteristics eternally inherent in urban structures. His snapshots are a world apart from their real life concrete representations. Independent of the actual structure, the artist tries to capture his own interpretation, which in turn helps him form a collection of visual architectural pieces that are timeless.
José Conceptes於1978年出生於西班牙瓦倫西亞的比納羅斯（Vinaròs），並於1997年至2001年在巴塞羅那的JOSO視覺藝術學校磨練了他的技藝。如今，他是一名概念攝影師和創意平面設計師。
Conceptes的作品深入探討可見與不可見的世界，探索人類視線常常忽略的細微之處。他試圖在平凡中揭示新的形式，將平淡無奇轉化為非凡之物。通過操控體積、陰影和紋理——無論是來自自然景觀還是人類創造的結構——他捕捉到物體與影子的對話。透過他的鏡頭，他表達了一種獨特的視覺，超越了物理空間的限制。他的攝影作品將過去、現在和未來交織在一起，形成不受時間約束的作品，邀請觀眾進行多重解讀。每張照片都鼓勵觀眾擴展想象力，形成個人的思考。
建築和城市景觀在他的作品中佔據中心地位，但焦點並非僅僅是這些建築本身。相反，鮮明的角度、陰影以及光線的互動在他的黑白構圖中佔據主導地位。每一件作品都經過精心構思，除了觀眾的主觀體驗外，沒有任何元素是偶然的。Conceptes希望他的攝影作品能夠體現出簡潔、乾淨的線條和寧靜感——這些品質與城市形式密不可分。他的快照將混凝土的現實轉化為一個截然不同的世界。獨立於實際結構之外，藝術家捕捉到了自己獨特的解讀，最終形成了一系列既永恆又充滿情感的視覺建築作品。
