Darío Bañuelos (Guadalajara, Jalisco, 1994) grew up surrounded by pencils, light, and curiosity. The son of a teacher and a physician, he found in drawing his first visual language; his mother encouraged him with blank notebooks, and his father, after long days of work, would sit down to draw with him at night. In 2009, he began digitizing his illustrations and exploring Photoshop on his own, which eventually led him to pick up the camera as a natural extension of his vision.

During an academic exchange in Sydney (2015), he monetized his photography for the first time. Since returning to Mexico in 2017, he has developed a career shaped by artistic portraiture, landscape, and editorial and documentary photography. His work, recognized by Canon Mexico, has been exhibited at Galería Sophart (Mexico City, 2022) and at the Michin Aquarium in Guadalajara, and he has also collaborated with Fotoplaneta on environmental projects.

With a chiaroscuro, cinematic, and emotional style, Darío explores mystery, nostalgia, and light as languages of the soul. In every image, he seeks to reveal the quiet beauty of the everyday and the emotion that lives between shadow and memory.
