"In today's world, photographic reproduction as a mirror of reality, becomes unsustainable to give way to the valuation of the interpretation of the artist who decontextualizes an object and recovers the infinite seductive potential of the image. Observation and perseverance of talent de Berlanga, from the technical and artistic aspect, allows him to transfer the everyday to the aesthetic plane. "

"Antonio Berlanga's work is a successful synthesis of artistic ambition, scientific discipline (graduated in Industrial Engineering from the National Autonomous University of Mexico and with a master's degree in Scientific Photography from Harrow Technical College and School of Art in London, England) and qualities so important to make photography an unquestionable artistic expression such as: talent, observation, patience and an incorruptible tenacity.
