Roberto Muñoz aka Pindaro
(August 19th, 1969) was born and raised in the Dominican Republic.
After his studies Roberto started his formal career by opening Grupo Novel, then a Graphic Design boutique that later evolved into an award winning advertising agency.
During his years as a Graphic Design professional, Roberto became involved in the processing and retouching of pictures, which later became his sensitive eye for detail, composition, lighting and production values. “The fact that I became involved in photography by finishing and manipulating pictures, gave me an interesting approach towards the do´s and don´ts and the ability to translate any image into any visual style”, says Roberto.

Self taught into Photography, his life long hobby, started to take an unexpected turn in his life During the Spring of 2005, when he joined a photographic community under the alias Pindaro; then his pictures where exhibited and shown to a numerous audience of his peers and fans of photography through several media outlets. “I felt tremendously motivated by the work of so many talented photographers from all over the world”, says Roberto, enthusiastically describing a process that enriched his photographic perspective and helped him create and strengthen a very personal style.
The sliding raindrops on a windshield, road signs, paint stokes over concrete on a parking lot, unsuspected pedestrians or sporting events of all kinds are just some of the themes that defines his unexpected and colorful photography.
With a exceptional eye for composition and a infuriated passion for textures and colors Pindaro captures images that can tasted and smelled but most definitely makes you want to touch them.
