Jes Abella

Jes Abella is a conceptual/fine-art photographer and self-portrait artist whose most tragic childhood memory is how his dreams got stolen at five years old. This led him to grow up not knowing what dreams are or really mean. Lost in that place of doubt, fear and anxiety he found comfort in darkness and solitude, and with his light' he set forth to conquer his fear on a journey of rediscovering his dreams. He picked up anything that echoed the fragments of those dreams and shared every encounter so he could eventually build a library of beautiful tragedies made out of fear, heartbreaks, sadness and grief.

Breaking the stereotype of being a camera-shy photographer, he puts himself in front of the camera to become a character in the story of his personal wonderland – a place where madness is applauded, darkness unveils its beauty and beauty manifests in the dark. This art of escapism has grown into a legacy of inspiring curious people who desire to dig deep into their craft and in their lives.
