I wanted to portray Adriana Eskenazi since I discovered her pictorial work, which fascinated me. Later, seeing her portfolio, I realized that she is an excellent photographer. We met at her studio in Ciutat Vella, a space flooded with light and the nice colors of her paintings. Adriana talks enthusiastically about her work, about how she tries to combine painting with photography assignments, because when she starts painting she can't stop until she finishes.
In 2021 she published Amar, a visual history that she cultivated during the five years of her relationship with her partner.
Now she is preparing another book with the discarded photos of the work she does for Erika Lust, a feminist film director for adults. Those are photos that are not commercial enough for the production company and are too explicit to post on social media. Looking forward to seeing the finished book....
Adriana Eskenazi founded with Laura Encursiva the photography and filmmaking studio eskenaziencursiva in 2010. For several years they worked for production companies such as Canada and Puente Aéreo (by which they were represented until the dissipation of the production company) and for brands such as Aperol Spritz, Tampax, Massimo Dutti, Gigi Studios, Fun Factory, Bimanán, Sony Music... In 2019 Adriana Eskenazi starts working separately as well, keeping her collaboration with Laura for some projects. This independence allows her to acquire a more personal point in her creativity and she explores different artistic fields that she sometimes incorporates in her photography. Among Adriana's clients are Skoda, Oysho, Pull & Bear, Massimo Dutti, Erika Lust or the Barcelona City Council. In 2020 she starts painting around the theme of food, making commissioned works and collaborating with restaurants and wineries.
