Artist and creator of his own sculptures, SJ develops a visual universe where sculpture, photography, and travel meet. His works are not simply photographed: they are staged in locations chosen for their poetic power, light, and atmosphere. Each image thus becomes a natural extension of the sculpture, revealing a new presence through its contact with the world.

In 3 Monkeys Swing, Tulum, SJ places his three iconic figures facing the Caribbean Sea horizon. Suspended on swings, they seem to inhabit a timeless moment, between silence, contemplation, and innocence. The black and white composition reinforces the timeless dimension of the work, transforming a beach scene into a meditative image.

The three monkeys, inspired by the universal allegory of the “three wise monkeys,” are not depicted here in a moral or rigid posture. They become silent, almost dreamlike presences, open to the landscape and the infinite. The swing evokes childhood, movement, and lightness, while the ocean brings an inner depth, like an invitation to slow down and return to the essential.

Through this photograph, SJ continues his research on the dialogue between sculpture and environment. Tulum beach is not just a backdrop: it becomes a resonant space where the sculptures absorb the light, calm, and memory of the place.

3 Monkeys Swing, Tulum is a soft, poetic, and contemplative work, ideal for a contemporary interior, a private collection, or a space where art dialogues with serenity.
