Barco Velho (2021) Photography by Bryah

Daniel Jorge, born in Coimbra (Portugal), grew up in a small coastal town in the region. At the age of 13, he moved to France, where he completed his primary education and obtained a degree in Commerce before moving into the field of Photography. Since his youth, he harbored the desire to become a geologist or archaeologist, even considering training in aesthetics.

With the onset of adolescence, this quest for self-affirmation and self-expression gained momentum, culminating in the birth of "Bryah", a nickname that lives on to this day. Bryah is a photographer, writer and maybe even a light philosopher; it embodies the voice that manifests itself, the dreamer and the creative. His approach aims to capture authenticity and capture fleeting moments, reflecting reality as it presents itself.

Through his art, he seeks not only to represent culture and history, but also to explore the intrinsic beauty of the natural and the everyday. In addition, Bryah embarks on the exploration of the unconscious, creating compositions that intertwine elements of the imagination, in the manner of the works of Stephen King and HP Lovecraft, with the complexities of human nature. Her work delves into the realms of fear, sadness, happiness and other tangible human emotions.

Bryah transformed his initial desire for geology or archeology into an artistic quest to capture life from different perspectives. Her photographs and writings are a window to her creative mind, a journey through human emotions and inner worlds. Through his creations, he leaves a unique imprint that recalls the richness of artistic exploration, thus offering viewers an invitation to dive into the depths of human experience.
