About


A passion for the past

The past, I believe, occupies an important place in our life and in our society. It allows us to have a foothold to move forward in time and history. A society and civilization that does not possess or no longer possesses its past, cannot move forward correctly in the future without repeating itself in a loop. The actions and experiences of our predecessors, saved, act as the hand of our father, guiding us towards the future and allowing us to grow.

Everything from the past must not be kept, otherwise there would be no evolution, and we would stagnate, we would remain at a given moment in history without the possibility of moving forward. A part must be kept as an example, good or bad. But it's not just that, there are also personal experiences and moments that we don't want to lose, because they are precious to us.

A guarantee of quality

Passionate about history and having completed a university course in history, as well as in Digital Humanities, I am committed to providing quality work, both in form and content.

I undertake to carry out extensive research work, as well as to provide complete documentation on my sources and inspiration for my work, at the end of the project.

Each restoration and re-colorization service is an artistic service in respect of the image. No automatic colorization software nor artificial intelligence assistance will be used during the photo service.
