Bernardo Alonso Villarejo (Bembibre 1906-1998), an amateur photographer, worked with the legendary Leica and Rolleiflex cameras, managing to express his personal reality and world through a photographic language that was very novel for the time.
Her social standing allowed her to experiment and delve into the world of photography, and although her personal output is not very extensive, having worked primarily in the 1950s, she left a notable testament to the excellence of her work.
A master of chiaroscuro, a great analyst of light, with highly crafted and descriptive compositions, yet at the same time featuring more subtle scenes that capture the moment. Interested in recreating scenographic spaces and in the expressiveness of gesture, as well as introducing effects that highlighted the scene, he delved into diverse themes ranging from the most intimate rural world to the activity of major European cities such as Paris, Rome, Venice or Lisbon; childhood and motherhood; the everyday and the spiritual; the importance of water as an expressive element, the sea and experimental series.
