José Falcón was born in 2001 in a small town in central Argentina. At the age of ten, he began helping a goldsmith friend of his parents. It was then that he discovered the quiet joy of creating with his hands.

A few years later, he started accompanying the impressionist painter Emaús Miciu on his plein-air sessions. Miciu would lend him a camera to document the landscapes and his artistic process. Through that lens, José found a connection to nature and to photography.

By the age of fourteen, he was wandering the mountains surrounding his hometown, drawn by light, silence, and the passage of time. He won a small camera in an astronomy contest and enrolled in a course on photographic composition. That moment sparked a lifelong pursuit.

Under the guidance of photographer Marcos Furer, he discovered artistic photography and began shaping his voice—rooted in emotion, simplicity, and memory. He created his first series exploring ancient cultures and traditions of Argentina, learning that beauty often lives in the unnoticed.

During his final years of high school, he traveled across Argentina and the United States, visiting galleries and museums that left a deep impression on him. Those journeys led to his first exhibitions and a clearer sense of artistic direction.

In 2022, he moved to Paris. Learning a new language and adapting to a different culture challenged him and drew him away from photography for nearly a year. But the city's museums, its light, and its quiet rhythm brought him back. Now, he returns with years of work to share—images shaped by time, distance, and a deep connection to the places and people who formed him.
