ABOUT 

Artist Statement

Ken Trujillo is a fine art and commercial photographer who specializes in capturing the beautiful and sometimes not so beautiful aspects of people and the world.
He is a Colorado native, has two daughters and a love of music, words, and life. His personal story has continued to influence his outlook, his inspiration and ultimately his art. His current work is a journey of transcendence to accept and adapt to change. 

“There is a beautiful way to shoot even the ugliest of things.” ~Hillary Fryer

This quote came from a dear friend and set Ken on a journey to find beauty in the everyday of life, the simple, the plain, even the mundane, and discarded. His art represents the Japanese aesthetic of wabi sabi, the beauty of imperfection, transience, and impermanence. Ken photographs fragments of everyday life that no one notices and exposes their inherent beauty. 

His technique involves the uncovering of the colors and detail from the inner depths of the original images. This process enables him to convey subtle differences between elegant shapes, organic shades, and vibrancy, resulting in a unique interpretation of beauty.
