Rey Contreras is an American photographer and graphic designer specializing in art direction and brand development. Shape, color theory, balance, composition, and psychology are the basis of a silent conversation between art and viewer. A thorough examination of this dialog is the motivation that inspires his work. The purpose of an artist is to take the world around them—through all the senses—dissect it, digest it, and deliver it in a new way for the world to consume.
Contreras masters this process due to his fixation on the small details of daily life. The moments that are easily dismissed and often overlooked become the basis for in-depth studies of life. This appreciation for the underappreciated and reflection on realness keep Contreras grounded and keep his work connected to the human experience.
