About

Henry Arias, known artistically as Peruexplorer, is a photographer based in Montreal, Canada. His work focuses primarily on black and white street photography, exploring the human presence within the urban rhythm of contemporary life.

Henry’s artistic journey began during his years in Europe, where he developed a deep appreciation for visual composition and the emotional resonance of public spaces. Influenced by the contrasts and silences of European streets, his approach evolved toward capturing candid moments that balance geometry, intuition, and human solitude.

Now established in Montreal, his practice has matured into a visual study of urban emotion and social atmosphere, often shaped by light, weather, and movement. His images are characterized by a minimalist aesthetic and precise framing that reflect both instinct and structure.

Over the years, Peruexplorer’s work has been recognized in several photography contests and featured by online art and photography platforms, earning attention for its subtle narrative and disciplined technique. Though rooted in the streets of Montreal, his visual language aspires to a universal emotional clarity, where the ordinary becomes a silent form of poetry.
