"I'm Dámaso Ávila and I live in Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain). I started photography in 2004, maintaining a continuous pace of learning and experience to this day.

At first, I actively participated in photography forums and, over time, I timidly began participating in national photography competitions, achieving success that encouraged me to take the leap to the international stage in 2019.

In the years since then, I have won various awards in several international competitions (European Photo Awards, International Photo Awards, New York Photo Awards, Muse Photo Awards, Fine Art Photo Awards, Monovisions, Paris PX3, etc.), mainly in the categories of architecture, portraits, street photography, and fine art.

I have held several solo exhibitions and published articles in magazines and books. In the short term, my goal is to maintain my level of international participation and intend to write a book to showcase my work."
