Rituals are important in our lives, they help us understand and cope with future events, they prepare us to deal with unknown situations, that could be moments of despair and uncertainty, they also comfort us when depression embrace our soul after a great loss.

 

There is no doubt that the diversity of life on the planet as we know is in great danger. Sadly, half of the world's wild animals have disappeared in the last 40 years, ¿Are we aware, that the planet is at threshold of the sixth mass extinction, and what this means to the future of man kind?

 

I have had the privilege of witnessing some of the most incredible spectacles of the natural world. With that responsibility in my back, I have never stopped thinking and acting accordingly. We nature photographers are real witnesses of these wonders and their destruction. At one point in my live I doubted my responsibility in the face of this new reality; it was out of frustration over the loss of many battels. My spirit was dealing with depression, and anger. In those trouble years I took refuge in the world of art, that was when The Extinction Rituals were born.

At that moment, life gave me another chance. Collect part of my past burden, youthful passions, unfinished experiences, acquired knowledge, and commitments to the wild. Use all the power of that frustration and channel it by creating a powerful language that can seduce the indifferent, a strong and provocative dialect that we can all understand, and a clear call that could bring down frontiers. All this to rediscover sanity for our trouble souls.
