Venezuela is a country with an incredible amount of diversity and contrast in all aspects, and I wanted to capture that variety and contrast in relation to the facades of houses. After all, these facades can tell the story of their inhabitants with a simple glance.

In this photographic journey, we embark on a voyage through the variety that defines Venezuela. From impeccable facades, adorned with vibrant colors and interesting architectural details, to structures that reflect the passage of time, with their worn walls and nostalgia embedded in each brick.

While the houses in the previous photographs have very beautiful facades, there are others that are deteriorated, all depending on the economic level of the owners. Some even appear abandoned.

This would be the typical Venezuelan house of a middle-class family. Middle-class homes, with their simple and functional facades, speak to the tenacity and effort of Venezuelans to build a home and the small businesses integrated into the houses are a reflection of the entrepreneurial spirit of the people that seeks to get ahead the crisis.

My favorites are those that have some type of vegetation or garden. I feel that these houses demonstrate the level of commitment and care that their owners have for their home, keeping their plants healthy and beautiful.

In this variety of facades of Venezuelan homes, we find the essence of Venezuela: a country of contrasts, where history blends with the present and beauty is manifested in every corner. A country that, despite its difficulties, clings to its identity and continues moving forward with hope intact.
