Career
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. Jarque's artwork has been frequently published in NatGeo. Jarque's photographic exhibition Fragile was on solo display at the Peruvian Embassy Gallery (Washington, D.C.) in 2019. 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," and constitute "a cry against species extinction."
