Born in Palma de Mallorca in 1976, Jos\u00e9 Hevia holds a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona and studied photography at the Institut d\u2019Estudis Fotogr\u00e0fics de Catalunya (IEFC). He established his professional practice in Barcelona in 2003, focusing on architecture and landscape photography. His career took an important turn after photographing the monograph on J.A. Coderch published by Gustavo Gili, which led to a steady collaboration with Quaderns d\u2019arquitectura i urbanisme<\/i> between 2003 and 2006.<\/p>\n
His vision is shaped by artists who have approached architecture as a cultural phenomenon rather than a purely disciplinary field. Among his strongest influences are the D\u00fcsseldorf school photographers\u2014students of Bernd and Hilla Becher such as Thomas Ruff, Thomas Struth, Andreas Gursky, and Candida H\u00f6fer\u2014as well as Central European authors like Peter Bialobrzeski, Bas Princen, or Hans-Christian Schink. Equally important is the American tradition of landscape photography across the twentieth century, from the FSA program to postmodern figures such as Stephen Shore, Lewis Baltz, David Graham, Joel Sternfeld, William Eggleston, and Larry Sultan. He also draws from conceptual artists who have worked with photography\u2014Hans Peter Feldmann, Dan Graham, Robert Smithson\u2014and from a rich lineage of Spanish photographers, both classic and contemporary, including Jordi Bernad\u00f3, Carlos P\u00e9rez Siquier, Francesc Catal\u00e0-Roca and Paco G\u00f3mez.<\/p>\n
Jos\u00e9 Hevia is widely admired for his meticulous approach and his ability to reveal the essence of architectural spaces. His work is defined by a crisp and refined aesthetic, where light and composition are essential tools. He deliberately excludes human presence, directing the viewer\u2019s attention to architecture itself, stripped of anecdote or distraction.<\/p>\n
Throughout his career, Hevia has collaborated with leading architecture studios, cultural institutions and specialized publications. One of his most significant contributions was his participation in the Spanish Pavilion at the 14th Venice Architecture Biennale in 2014, curated by I\u00f1aki \u00c1balos.<\/p>\n
His photographs have been featured in numerous architecture and design magazines and books. He has contributed visual essays for monographs and guides on modern architecture across Spain.<\/p>\n
In addition to his professional practice, he has participated in educational programmes in the field of architectural photography.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":36853,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","footnotes":""},"categorias-profesionales":[1327],"class_list":["post-36850","profesionales","type-profesionales","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categorias-profesionales-photographers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales\/36850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profesionales"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales\/36850\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categorias-profesionales","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categorias-profesionales?post=36850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
