Statement

My work concentrates on the exploration of matter as visual language through an experimental search of the organic form. Taking painting and drawing as a starting point, I rely on chaos and order as a tool to stimulate unexpected associations among different elements whose result evokes a corporeal presence in constant transformation.

In my practice I intend to enhance the particular processes of each material and communicate within the morphology of its own physical essence. Textural rhythms, color vibrations and shape shifts are dissected and reassembled to build new interconnected structures that coexist in uneasy balance. I conceive my pieces as pictorial ecosystems, living in-between the tangible and the imaginary, the intimate and the strange.
