"Beauty is never far from Chaos"
Frederic George Pauwels (b. 1971) is a photographer based in Belgium and Catalonia, Spain.
He began collecting pictures and visuals at a young age, with magazines, posters, and vinyl covers serving as his first sources of inspiration in the early 1980s.
At 15, he received his first camera and fell in love with the analog photographic process. He started taking pictures and never stopped.
Fred graduated in photography in 1993 and began his career in advertising photography, primarily in studios. Over time, his travels and encounters drew him toward more human-centered assignments, such as portraits of artists.
Like many, 2020 marked a turning point. He began a personal journey, exploring the intricate relationship between humans and the natural world, first through its paradoxes in the Anthropocene, capturing both unspoiled landscapes and human-altered spaces.
Expanding into more abstract perspectives, he continues to observe what shapes our shared reality.
Fred’s photography is a blend of spontaneity and deep reflection. His lens often finds silence, revealing the inherent impermanence in everything.
