Selected Works — A Curated Vision of Allegorical Fine Art Photography

By

ICM fine art photograph by Héctor Morón – nature rising against humanity, vegetation overpowering human architecture in an allegorical abstraction of time and resilience.

Introduction

Selected Works was conceived as a gateway into my photography. Unlike thematic series, these images do not share a single narrative, but they represent key moments in the evolution of my practice. Each one stands as a milestone, chosen not only for its aesthetic strength but also for the allegorical resonance it carries within my broader body of work.

Purpose of the Collection

The idea of Selected Works arose from a simple necessity: to offer viewers a condensed panorama of my work. Visitors often arrive at my site without knowing my entire body of series, and they seek an immediate entry point into my vision. This selection answers that need. It gathers works from different projects and periods, and it allows them to converse in a new space. The images presented here are not simply the “best” in a superficial sense; they are the ones that crystallize the direction of my practice, the photographs that feel like thresholds or turning points.

Unifying Principles

What unites them, despite their different origins, is a commitment to transform the visible through the act of intentional camera movement. For me, ICM is not a formula but a language — a way of painting with light and gesture, a means to translate the impression of reality into something poetic and symbolic. In these works, a forest is never only a forest, nor a wave only a wave: they are metaphors, allegories that hold a resonance beyond their physical subject. That resonance is what determined their inclusion here.

Dialogues with Art History

There is also another layer: Selected Works reflects my dialogue with art history and with the traditions of abstraction and expressionism. Certain images may recall impressionist brushstrokes, others may evoke expressionist intensity, while some reach toward pure abstraction. Yet, even when the references shift, the underlying pulse is constant — a search for images that live between perception and imagination. Each photograph becomes a trace of movement, but also a symbolic space where themes of memory, duality, or transformation take form.

Examples within the Selection

For example, a work like Flame Abstraction condenses my fascination with light as a living force, while Lava I from the Volcano Series embodies the dramatic tension between destruction and creation. Eden Tree II speaks of refuge and allegory through nature, while The Glare That Consumes the Sun pushes light toward the edge of blindness, revealing its paradoxical fragility. Taken together, these images reveal not only my strongest pieces but also the range of my explorations — from natural landscapes to urban rhythms, from figurative echoes to pure abstraction.

A Map of My Journey

Selected Works can also be read as a map of my journey. Some images were made early in my practice, when I was discovering the expressive possibilities of movement; others are more recent, the result of years of refining this personal language. Placed side by side, they trace an evolution: the deepening of a voice, the gradual articulation of a vision that becomes more allegorical, more symbolic, more precise. In this sense, the collection is not static. It is open, always subject to change as new works emerge and redefine the trajectory.

For the Viewer

For the viewer, this page offers a panorama. It is not necessary to know each series in detail; the works themselves speak of the concerns that run throughout my photography: the dialogue between nature and humanity, the play of light as both material and metaphor, the transformation of ordinary landscapes into poetic visions. If the individual series are like chapters, Selected Works is a condensed volume — a way to sense the whole without needing to read every page.

Conclusion

Ultimately, the purpose of Selected Works is not to present a definitive list, but to offer an introduction and a reflection. An introduction, because it allows new visitors to enter my world through images that stand as signposts of my artistic identity. A reflection, because for me, gathering them together creates a constellation, a pattern that reveals itself only when these fragments are seen side by side.

Closing Note

Taken together, these works do not aim to form a single narrative, but they illuminate the essence of my practice. Each one stands alone, yet all are connected by a pulse of light, movement and allegory. In this sense, Selected Works is both a doorway and a mirror: it welcomes viewers into my universe, while also reflecting the evolution of my path as an artist.
