Career

edit

Jarque graduated in Philosophy of Science from the Sorbonne University in Paris, and educated himself as a photographer since he was a child, when he began playing with his fatherly-gift camera taking pictures of tadpoles and frogs at a pond near his house.[6][7] Jarque's artwork has been frequently published in NatGeo. [8][9][10][11] Jarque's photographic exhibition Fragile was on solo display at the Peruvian Embassy Gallery (Washington,D.C.) in 2019.[12] In commentators' words, Jarque's photographs "aim to break down the psychological and emotional barriers that separate us from our fellow creatures, capturing every animal in an atmosphere of breathtaking intimacy,"[1] and constitute "a cry against species extinction."[13]
