(Madrid, 1953)

Javier Vallhonrat Guezzi is a Spanish photographer.

Bachelor of Fine Arts and Psychology, Gestalt Therapist and Integrative Humanist Therapist, this artist chooses photography as his privileged means of research, exploring its limits as a language, and making it dialogue with painting, video, performance, speech or installation.

Over more than three decades, he has combined the development of his work with a teaching activity in public and private institutions in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Spain, France, Finland, Italy, Japan, Mexico and the United Kingdom.

During the last years he has worked in particular geoclimatic environments, carrying out projects of long duration that he continues to develop at present.

The work of this artist has been exhibited in numerous museums and institutions around the world, and is found in collections such as the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, the Grand Duc Jean in Luxembourg or the Museum of Modern Art in Philadelphia, among others.

17 monographs of his work have been published, his work having been recognized with numerous awards, among which include the National Photography Prize, the Photography Prize of the Community of Madrid, the Madrid City Photography Prize and the Prize Bartolomé Ros of PhotoEspaña.
