Navarro is one of the most renowned photo artists from Spain since the 1980s and has published numerous books. His work allows him "to create objects containing subtle values intelligible to others", as he puts it. In addition to his mastery of finest light gradation, his talent for a convincing geometric composition is particularly outstanding. This is also evident in his series "Touches", which is dedicated to the confrontation of the textures of silk and skin.

明胶银盐照片,硒调色,创作者在1990年代印制于双重重量哑光纸上,尺寸27 x 30.4厘米,状况极佳。摄影师的盲印在下边缘,背面用铅笔签名、题名并标注版本号“12/15”。纳瓦罗自1980年代以来是西班牙最著名的摄影艺术家之一,出版了众多书籍。他的作品使他能够“创造出含有微妙价值的物品,这些价值对他人是可以理解的”,正如他所说。除了他对最精细光线渐变的掌握外,他在令人信服的几何构图方面的才华也特别突出。这在他的系列作品《触摸》中也得到了体现,该系列致力于丝绸和皮肤质感的对比。
