writing, photography and art

Jay Mansilla (Madrid, España) is a journalist, photographer and artist. His work takes form through writing and photography as parallel tools that foreground embodied life as locus, capturing the entanglement of human nature with contemporary social and economic conditions.

Stringent and deliberate in its methodology, Mansilla’s visual and textual language traces the ties between  emotion, rationality and socio-economic structures.  The result is something akin to a site of attention inviting both artist and viewer to navigate, decipher and honour the strains that endure in lived experience.

When creativity is alienated, the definition of human nature has to be reclaimed.   Society enjoys the fur coat that comes out of the capitalist truck, but is unwilling to acknowledge its origin.   Single disciplines and closed definitions of culture collapse by the plurality of experiences in the spotlight.    Creation and its causes are inseparable threads in a complex fabric of influence, making them the first reasonable place to create from.   One action at a time.

True inquiry reveals that change goes beyond dismantling structures, it requires using those very frameworks as maps to comprehend, navigate, and ultimately transcend the uncomfortable realities they produce.
