Document the rich tradition of photography in Spain, not only that of the well-known and admired: M. Navia, C. García Rodero, etc. but also of those who every day bring us their images in local newspapers. It is evident in the images that come out of the look and work by Óscar Cárdenas. In his case, the men and women of the sea and the countryside, regardless of each person’s role, social level, etc.

The value of the beauty in daily life and its impact on each human being brings Oscar’s work closer to an “altarpiece” where the human and the divine embrace each other.
